A comment on one of my last shorts videos on this said to make a car that wouldn’t dent, interesting coincidence lol! Though I’m not sure how well it would work, if at all, but it’s a fun thought experiment nonetheless :) However they do make (expensive I’m assuming) eyeglass frames that can have dents repaired using this same principle, cool right!?

Nitinal doesn't have very good armor qualities, plus it isn't very hard, so a large amount of it would be needed. That's why modern armors consist mostly of ceramics.

Nitinol springs become hyper elastic when constantly heated. It's a shame it's not used that much in modern technologies because it would be extremely useful to have a spring you can vary the tension on using current.

Why don’t you do something about it then? Invent something utilising nitinol springs rather than whinging on the internet that someone else hasn’t done it. If you knew what you’re talking about you’d know that there’s just very few applications where this is would equal or exceed the performance or practicality of the more common alternatives

I’m pretty new to nitinol springs. My thing is mostly chemistry, electronics, 3d cad and coding with a couple others So I’m kinda new to the memory alloy stuff, while I do have some sketches for linear actuators using them, most of my inventions at the moment usually involve the stuff mentioned above, but I’ll try my best!

@kingjohan1335 It would depend on the application. It's pretty much the same of pneumatics vs. hydraulics. And as it's lesser known, I doubt anyones first thought would be to utilize its properties.

That’s an interesting idea! Sadly the only companies making game controllers would rather sell a new controller than make one that would be repairable like that. I truly believe that product quality decreases when a company goes public, their priorities change from making products to making profits and year-over-year growth for investors.

How about this for an idea you could use these springs for a thermally powered clock that in the day wound itself and during nights would cool down and the spring would lose tension.
@KeonsLab
6 ай бұрын
I don’t know much about mechanical clocks but I guess that could maybe work but only somewhere where the days and nights have big temperature differences But even then I’m not sure how accurate the clock would be if the amount of tension isn’t kept constant, but idk enough about clocks to know the answer to that

@@KeonsLab a major deserts would be sufficient with freezing temperatures at night and well hot temperatures during the day. And you could use the springs not as the source of constant tension but as a way to wind the clock spring itself.
@KeonsLab
6 ай бұрын
Oh interesting I didn’t think of that! I think a linear ratchet type mechanism could work for that? When winding the clock spring it would be engaged with it, and that way when the nitinol spring is returning to its original state, it wouldn’t unwind the clock spring. Then a second ratcheting mechanism for just the clock spring would allow it to unwind freely in one direction, so the force goes into the clockwork, but when rotated in the opposite direction it would engage with the first mechanism and let the nitinol spring wind it

I wonder how that would work for these specific springs since it’s k value depends on the temperature. I guess you could measure how much force it exerts at a given temperature to get values for each temperature and then do a line of best fit or something?
