Nitinol Wire/Shape Memory Alloy - How to Use it - YouTube
This video demonstrates a unique inchworm made with nitinol wire, a shape-memory alloy. The inchworm's movement is powered by the wire's ability to change shape based on heat. The video explains how the wire's heating and cooling cycles, combined with a spring, create the inchworm's walking motion. Beginner Experiment A nickel titanium alloy with a unique shape memory property is shown in action. A wire made from this material is bent and then placed in hot water. When heated, it straightens and turns a pulley system. The video showcases how the alloy's shape memory property can be used to power a simple, spinning machine. 4K CC
Nitinol wire, how to program this shape memory wire and test it. I use a candle flame for programming it and both a candle flame and electrical current for testing the nitinol. I also make a spring out of the nitinol wire and measure the force produced while it takes on its programmed shape.
