we got it breathing. . .
We've been experimenting with a few materials for lamination (electrical tape, book binding tape, laminating film, wax paper, and tracing paper). Different woven folds produced slightly different movements.
Eliminating the piano wire from our set-up, we used the material itself as a counterforce, returning the wire to its straight state.
Several of our trials (including laminating the full length of the flexinol) failed to produce movement. However, we did achieve several trials that produced amplified movement.
Here are links to a couple couple movies.
