  • Imagine, no need for car insurance, get in a wreck, heat your car, VIOLA! LOL!

  • Its not of unknown origin. Its Memory Metal - NiTi and its been discovered in early 1960.

    It can be distorted, bent, warped and upon heating/cooling or just regular room temperature, it restores it self to its "memorised" shape.

    And yes, i have heard in Rosevile ( was it rosevile? ) ufo crash that thats what the ufo scraps found where made off..

    Thou i doubt that that "ufo" had anything to do with aliens.

  • hmm how hot is the water? and second if it is that expensive why build venus city with it? just use normal metal maybe harder but cheaper on the other hand self repair is COOL, BTW it may be global warming but some countries gets it colder at winter also since the golf stream will be slowed down it will bring places like denmark, sweeded, norway less heat from the south and by that make it colder for??? me

  • @bigvic22sti Its because the manufacturing cost of shape memory metal is too high to be commercially viable. Aerospace will be the first user because light weight and strength is everything for that field, cost be dammed.

  • It's very expensive to produce, otherwise they would already be doing what you mentioned.

  • You can crush prefab modular structures for transport, then at the destination apply heat to restore their shape. This can be used as a stage in the construction of ships, houses, and sea cities.

  • @fdsman u could build cars, when they have an exident, u just heat them up.

    Venus Project is so awsome!

  • because it's useless otherwise. What could you possibly do with a metal that reshapes itself in a high temperature?

  • I remember seeing this 12 years ago on pbs and yet still we have not created anything with it

  • Check out the Venus Project. Memory metal can be twisted but when a certain temperature interacts, it turns back to the original state.
