Be sure to look at Jacque Fresco's video on SHAPE MEMORY METAL for preventing car accidents.

@TheKrisHimself That's what Jacque Fresco designed years ago, using this same metal. He designed a car made by Nitinol, so if you ever get hit (something somewhat unlikely because of the sensors the car have), the car repairs itself :)

@sovriegn117 I've tried this - fortunately it doesn't break :) The stuff is suprisingly soft for wire, it'll just lock up at the knoted point, forcing you to take it out untie the knot, and then put it back in the hort water for it to continue getting back into the original shape.

I would like my car's body to be made of Nitinol so that when I crash, all i need to do is pour some hot water over it. And every time i crash i will get a unique paint job.

What happens if you tie it in a knot? does it break itself trying to go back to the shape?

its true TOH oh wow XD

This is the reverse engineered product of the material found from the crashed UFO at Roswell in 1947.
