RimstarOrg | Nitinol Wire/Shape Memory Alloy - How to Use it @RimstarOrg | Uploaded 10 years ago | Updated 9 minutes ago
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.

The nitinol wire I use in the video was purchased from:
kelloggsresearchlabs.com
They don't seem to sell that specific nitinol product anymore but they have other nitinol products. Searching for "nitinol" on ebay.com also turns up a lot of options.
