Using flexinol with a basswood stick to move our silicone

[EthanNin0]

What's the difference between Flexinol and Nitinol wire?

Also, is there some way to speed up the contraction and retraction of the wire? Is more charge better or is there a set speed? It looks as though temperature plays a part.

What is the optimum electrical charge for a single strand of Flexinol?

Can you measure the pull strength of the wire?

@EthanNin0 hello you can easily found informations inside Flexinol documentation. There are 11 different wire diameters for Flexinol. Of course pull strength and action time depend on diameter. If you want a fast action is better to use more small wires instead of just a big one ...
