Group SEAGY Kinetic Wall Material Studies
Below are links to youtube videos of our recent tests as to not slow down the blog any. Tests were down with a metal bow piece and the thickest flexinol wire (.020) and 2 9volt batteries. Relay usage from another grouped provided quicker reflexes to our wire. A test was also done with basswood and .012 flexinol also providing sufficient power.

Below are photos of our previous test of imbedding flexinol into silicone. We had seen other tests similar but with different configurations. Our test did not utilize enough of a spring or tensioning member to keep the flexinol extended. There is also a photo of what we wanted to happen...but did not.
