'''Using Muscle Wire''' | |||
Here is an experiment with 'Muscle Wire' which shrinks when certain currents are applied. I tried sewing it into the paper to see what kinds of movement could happen. It resulted in subtle, slow movements which were too slight for this project. Muscle wire also turned out to be quite complicated to use. It is easy to burn it out by applying too much current or an appropriate amount of current for too long resulting in it becoming unresponsive. I think it could be an interesting material to work with in the future but needs a lot more research/experimentation. For this reason I went back to working with servo motors. | Here is an experiment with 'Muscle Wire' which shrinks when certain currents are applied.
