Shape Memory Alloy

[Mikesterbub]

COOL!!! Where did you get that spring? I want one!

[PigsCanFly99]

that's truly amazing - we live in truly modern-times. I implore you - would you be so generous and tell me exactly where I could purchase a similar heat-gun : )'

[InsidiakMFWA]

Now can it contract and stretch like regular muscle?

[Obltzs]

I love living in the future

[shauneddie]

what are the properties of memory shaping alloys?

[misterkillyourface]

they need to make bumpers and fenders with this so you can fix it after a crash with a heat gun

no terrorist

Im a student from kazakhstan ,and im searching this wire who nows,where can i find it??

im doing a projekt about this alloys

were did you buy it

[Herowar]

A shape memory alloy is an alloy that "remembers" its original, cold-forged shape: returning the pre-deformed shape by heating. - WikiPedia

[VincentGreece]

I've heard about it years ago but it is diabolic :-) nice

[Littledude5883]

Is the metal only able to return to its original shape so long as the original deformation was elastic? Or does this also work for plastic deformation as well?

[rokinrobin]

Tie it in a knot - i bet its not so clever then!

Holy Shit! A time-reversing hair dryer! :O Someone contact the world's top Physicists! Contact Harvard, Cambridge, and MIT!

[randomusernumber1]

you want some shape memory alloy ??? grab a pen , tear it a part , grab the spring , bend the leaving lights out of it , heat it up , and presto change o it pops back into shape

[nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn984]

@randomusernumber1

is this true?

[randomusernumber1]

@nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn984 yes it is true , just don't tie it in a know or tangle it ,and if you try it please use some kind of metal clamps or something just don't hold it in your hand cause it gets red hot very fast and it is vrey painful

[Si3z3]

OMG FIANLY a unbreaable slinky is possible :D

[Fusionicon]

Where can I buy some?

[CARE2DOTCOM]

@Fusionicon

Its called Nitinol and NO.. You cant have any.

Good day.

[Cicero19]

Hey this video is amazing! I have one question though, is this alloy magnetic?

[Die2Magier]

Can I buy this stuff anywhere?

[johnsdoeful]

FAKE.

lol jk, thats really cool.

[iROFLZiLLA]

Thanks :)

[Danster82]

why the hell is this stuff not used more?

Not profitable for insurance companys?

Car panels anyone...

[hollock1]

Because it is very expensive and it´s shape memory is about 8 %, and that is not enough for a car panel...and also the panel would cost 50 times more then new from an ordinary steel.

[lowprices4evs]

u could have just dipped it in warm water

[Choice777]

freaking awesome !!!

[ECHOSIDE56301]

Good video; thank you for the demonstration.

[spiderweb20]

ha. i watched an episode of CSI NY where there was a car made of this stuff.

[csihardfan111]

Yea, It was an aston martin vanquish. The killers wanted to imitate James Bond.

[discoinfern0]

wow thanx for demo...

is it still an "hookes law" spring after it's restored?

[frhnh90]

I just learned about this in my materials class... man this is just amazing to me. The amount of things you can do with these materials.

[Timverbaz]

Good demonstration.

[munrais]

Just amazing.
