1-Way Nitinol Extension Springs | SMA Shape Memory Alloys #electronics #engineering #cool #shorts

Nitinol springs become hyper elastic when constantly heated. It's a shame it's not used that much in modern technologies because it would be extremely useful to have a spring you can vary the tension on using current.

[nachgebaut]

Hmm interesting.
Making a piece of armor out of this would be cool.

[gregoryg]

Finally, a practical application of nitinol springs!

[beckbarnhardt]

Wow I didn’t know they had that much pulling force

[dragonspirit]

Wait can those springs be used an mechanical limbs or robots instead of muscles if they get further researched

[Triro]

Game controllers should have these.
If spring gets lose, press a button, boom back to like new.

[danielson]

get a meter of sorts to check tension?

[FMHikari]

That could be useful to open/close vents on certain machines through sheer temperature and mechanicla power alone.

[shawnio]

it will do that twice before the molecules will be stretched.

[morganhawkins]

How about this for an idea you could use these springs for a thermally powered clock that in the day wound itself and during nights would cool down and the spring would lose tension.

@KeonsLab can u add a linkto but these im gonna try making self tighting shoes and i think these ade what im looking for

[noanticheat]

What if you buy a lot of these and make a bionic electric mussle that can pull a lot of force 🧐

[theblackbaron]

Well they say spring(s) around the corner :>

[MRRED-bkhb]

*Anyone remember the back to the future shoes?*

[nic]

If you know it's k value then I could probably figure out the force. Yay physics 😅😭 I'm so exhausted

[Traper_T]

@KeonsLab Cool video, maycy check if the pulling force will be eaven stronger in the lower temperatures. And can you tell me if my next mails arrivet to you? I get no respond from you.

500g motor on a low friction surface isnt a good demonstration

D&D DUNGEON MASTERS READ THIS:
This would be a great material to make plate armor out of for your undead warriors in a tabletop d&d game. Because it's forgednto be fully stretched out, any living people cannot loot this armor to wear or their body heat would cause it to contract and crush them to death
