This is how my braces worked! They didn’t “tighten” anything. They’d slot in a thicker wire and my body heat would cause it to try and straighten back to the clean curve before they put in my mouth. Materials science is really cool!
originally nitonol is in the form of cold martensite... when you deform it, the atoms bonds move one across allowing it to bend more (called plastic deformation) turning it into a different martensite and when heat is applied the bonds return back to normal turning it into austenite and as it cools again it goes back to its original structure !! just to let yall know the chemistry of it 👍
@@user-mm1mi1dl7myes, this is a problem in some shape memory alloys. It’s called cyclic fatigue. Some parts of the alloys will stop transforming back and forth. However, this can be countered through thermomechanical processing, like heat treatments and rolling. Also, alloying Nitinol with copper and/or some other elements can improve fatigue properties.

I remember the article talked about how it was discovered. Someone working with metal alloys was fidgeting with some ingots formed when the molten metal fell on the floor. He noticed that they made a different sound when tapped against another object when warm than when the ingots were cold. Surprisingly, the sound was softer when the ingots were cold. That caught someone's attention. It's been 40 years since I read that article, so I may not have the details right. AND apparently I can buy Nitinol on Amazon now.

@VinwardWasHere@@lexilynne419Nitinol is an alloy of Nickel and Titanium. Stents are made of different material.

Nitinol is still used in some devices including some prosthetic valves, such as the Medtronic Evolut self-expanding transcatheter aortic valve replacement system.
No y’all that is not perpetual motion, after about 10 minutes when the water gets cold the engine stops, meaning you’ll need more fuel (energy) to heat the water again
They use a similar metal wire for braces. They stick the braces on the face of your teeth. Then take a wire shaped like a 'U' and bend it every which way to attach it to the braces. Slowly over time the heat of your mouth bends the wire back into it's original 'U' shape straightening all of your teeth in the process.
Because its TOO good, the illuminati wants to keep the world stuck in 1940s technology, which is mostly true except for smart phones, the internet, and computer chips. But planes, cars, and power generation have all been stuck in the 1940s
@blakethesnake6686 I know how it works. It's a joke. Using material properties is the first step in the attempt though. Imagine doing it without constantly needing hot water as the fuel.
Look up Gerald Julien. He had dozens of US patents involving Nitinol. It's used all over the world. He was also my dad and a brilliant inventor and engineer.
The wire has a lustrous titanium color (dark grey) with a bluish oxide tint on its surface. When freshly cut, the inner core is nickel white. Nitinol is very abrasion resistant and has self-healing properties, so the wire is quite hard to cut and kink. It feels very smooth and shiny to the touch. It does not require any special handling or protections from oxidation or moisture, and is non-toxic. Trained straight - the wire is very soft and pliable at room temperatures, and becomes stiff and straightens out at a very low heat point of 40C (about 100F), making it suitable for demonstrations without getting burned. 1.0 mm (0.04") diameter is very thick, this wire can hold or pull many pounds of weight and it is virtually unbreakable. Wire can be trained to take on a different shape by heat treating it at 500C and quenching in water. Thick, strong & smooth - black oxide finish is shiny and low friction, with a mysterious sheen.
They used a metal similar to this in my braces. The wire was originally in the shape they wanted my teeth to be then the orthodontist bent it out of shape into the brackets on my teeth. The heat from my mouth is what activated the metal to return to the original shape.
I came here to say this! I shadowed my orthodontist for a school project and got to keep some of the wire they used on my braces. I still have it, and it still goes back to it's original shape after 14 years!
@@SoberBhoythe oil companies dont give a shit because youd have to scale it uo so large to get any amount of perceivable energy out of it, plus you'll always use more energy than you make.
Always excited to see more thermal actuation! I remember seeing articles for cheap artificial muscles from fishing line way back in 2014 and being super excited for its applications, then wondering why no one was using them in the years following. Recently, I’ve been on a job hunt in the robotics industry, and went to several conferences with major robotics startups, suppliers, university groups and established businesses. From speaking to participants, I’ve come to the conclusion that the lack of precedent is scaring companies off of implementing any alternative actuation in real products (only motors). It’s disappointing that fear of the unknown/convention is delaying technological progress, but sooner or later myself or others will start to implement these kinds of mechanisms. Hopefully this will lead to more affordable robotic systems long term, as motors are one of the most expensive parts of any robotic system.
How much precision can alternative actuators achieve? I'm not an engineer of any variety, but I imagine that with motors, the input/output/ lifetime/performance properties are all very well known, x energy goes into motor, exactly y torque comes out, which is exactly z linear movement of robot arm. The other materials seem really neat in that they seem to cut out a lot of the complexity and waste of a motor in the middle, but can they operate with the same predictability as motors?
@@michaelwerkov3438 You’ve made a very good point. That’s exactly the issue. Motors are extremely predictable and reliable. There hasn’t been enough research/mass manufacturing to really determine if these kinds of artificial muscles have consistent reproducible results. Different locations have different temperatures, and since these muscles constrict with heat, it’s hard to anticipate/control exactly for any environment. I see two options, either meticulous study, and an introduction of some kind of parallel cooling system. Or, more realistically, simply creating a product that can serve as a basic piston and be used where repeatability doesn’t matter, or only two states (fully constricted and fully released) are needed. I think once a cheap off-the-shelf piston substitute is made that proves to be reliable within reasonable parameters, more attention/development will come to the technology with time. For context, I don’t claim to be an expert either. I only recently graduated with my Bachelors in Engineering, and am starting at my first “real” (automation industry). But I’ve been interested/following along on and off with thermal actuators for many years, and have that as sort of a planned side project once I settle into my job. I could very well have missed some important designs/use cases/research out there though.
This is actually how the Microsoft Surfaces connect and disconnect the main tablet from the keyboard/palmrest assembly. The latches are pulled back by heating up the wire when the release button on the keyboard is pressed
Nitinol consists of nickel and titanium. By slightly changing that ratio in the alloy, the transition temperature (temperature at which it returns to its natural state) can be adjusted. You can buy it so that this temperature is set between room temperature and skin temperature. Then, just skin contact will actuate it. Or it can be in the minus degrees. Or at the boiling point of water. Depends on what you need it for. This transition temperature as well as the wire diameter and length dictate how much amps you need for what time
Man this stuff is so cool. I went to this STEM convention a few years ago in Washington, DC and some company was giving out little line-arts made of Nitinol. I wish I still had that.
At first I thought this would be a perpetual motion machine, which confused me because that’s not possible. But the more I thought about it, I realized it’s because of the heated water. You’d constantly need to be putting more heat into the system for this to work. It’s a really cool demonstration though!
the thought of using this metal in jigsaw's "GAME" always hits me up. imagine a victim have to stay in ice so he/she can pull the metal, before it get back to its shape stabbing their internal organs. it's basically either you let your internal body heat be the one to kill you or hypothermia lolol
The reason this isnt an infinite motion machine is because even if the water was perfectly insulated to where it doesn’t cool, the heat from the water is getting transferred to the metal and the metal is losing the heat to the ambient air while its spinning like how a radiator cools by using airflow so eventually the water will be room temperature. Also it’ll evaporate, and also the water will cool down on its own even if the wire wasn’t spinning it

@@lexilynne419stents* I design these devices :)))
@VinwardWasHere@@lexilynne419Nitinol is an alloy of Nickel and Titanium. Stents are made of different material. Initially they were stainless steel and some were Nitinol; these days, modern stents are made of cobalt-chromium alloys. Nitinol is still used in some devices including some prosthetic valves, such as the Medtronic Evolut self-expanding transcatheter aortic valve replacement system.
@@lexilynne419… thanks… couldn’t have figured it out without you…
No y’all that is not perpetual motion, after about 10 minutes when the water gets cold the engine stops, meaning you’ll need more fuel (energy) to heat the water again
Brother casually invents perpetual motion 😳
They use a similar metal wire for braces. They stick the braces on the face of your teeth. Then take a wire shaped like a 'U' and bend it every which way to attach it to the braces. Slowly over time the heat of your mouth bends the wire back into it's original 'U' shape straightening all of your teeth in the process.
I didn't know that, thanks for the explanation
those are made of nitinol
Why wasn't this taught at school, this is the coolest thing I've ever seen
Because its TOO good, the illuminati wants to keep the world stuck in 1940s technology, which is mostly true except for smart phones, the internet, and computer chips. But planes, cars, and power generation have all been stuck in the 1940s

It's not perpetual motion.
The water is hot
@blakethesnake6686 I know how it works. It's a joke. Using material properties is the first step in the attempt though. Imagine doing it without constantly needing hot water as the fuel.
You can't do things without fuel. Do you know what the 1st law of thermodynamics is?@@InnaciKorushka
Look up Gerald Julien. He had dozens of US patents involving Nitinol. It's used all over the world. He was also my dad and a brilliant inventor and engineer.
I'm nosy and checked out several of his patents! Pretty cool!
Did bro just reinvent the water powered car?
This is as close as you can get to perpetual motion.😂😂
How many lifts can it make before the integrity erodes
The wire has a lustrous titanium color (dark grey) with a bluish oxide tint on its surface. When freshly cut, the inner core is nickel white. Nitinol is very abrasion resistant and has self-healing properties, so the wire is quite hard to cut and kink. It feels very smooth and shiny to the touch. It does not require any special handling or protections from oxidation or moisture, and is non-toxic.
Trained straight - the wire is very soft and pliable at room temperatures, and becomes stiff and straightens out at a very low heat point of 40C (about 100F), making it suitable for demonstrations without getting burned.
1.0 mm (0.04") diameter is very thick, this wire can hold or pull many pounds of weight and it is virtually unbreakable.
Wire can be trained to take on a different shape by heat treating it at 500C and quenching in water.
Thick, strong & smooth - black oxide finish is shiny and low friction, with a mysterious sheen.
How can you trust it if it loses integrity?

Dude i was literally just thinking "the Egyptians and Cambodians probably did this lol"

Wait until this guy discovers Legos.
They used a metal similar to this in my braces. The wire was originally in the shape they wanted my teeth to be then the orthodontist bent it out of shape into the brackets on my teeth. The heat from my mouth is what activated the metal to return to the original shape.
I came here to say this! I shadowed my orthodontist for a school project and got to keep some of the wire they used on my braces. I still have it, and it still goes back to it's original shape after 14 years!

This has some serious practical applications if it can scale up.
The oil companies would never allow them to try scaling something like this up
Unfortunately the force output is pretty low for sma in general
@@SoberBhoythe oil companies dont give a shit because youd have to scale it uo so large to get any amount of perceivable energy out of it, plus you'll always use more energy than you make.

Always excited to see more thermal actuation! I remember seeing articles for cheap artificial muscles from fishing line way back in 2014 and being super excited for its applications, then wondering why no one was using them in the years following. Recently, I’ve been on a job hunt in the robotics industry, and went to several conferences with major robotics startups, suppliers, university groups and established businesses. From speaking to participants, I’ve come to the conclusion that the lack of precedent is scaring companies off of implementing any alternative actuation in real products (only motors). It’s disappointing that fear of the unknown/convention is delaying technological progress, but sooner or later myself or others will start to implement these kinds of mechanisms. Hopefully this will lead to more affordable robotic systems long term, as motors are one of the most expensive parts of any robotic system.
How much precision can alternative actuators achieve? I'm not an engineer of any variety, but I imagine that with motors, the input/output/ lifetime/performance properties are all very well known, x energy goes into motor, exactly y torque comes out, which is exactly z linear movement of robot arm.
The other materials seem really neat in that they seem to cut out a lot of the complexity and waste of a motor in the middle, but can they operate with the same predictability as motors?
@@michaelwerkov3438 You’ve made a very good point. That’s exactly the issue. Motors are extremely predictable and reliable. There hasn’t been enough research/mass manufacturing to really determine if these kinds of artificial muscles have consistent reproducible results.
Different locations have different temperatures, and since these muscles constrict with heat, it’s hard to anticipate/control exactly for any environment. I see two options, either meticulous study, and an introduction of some kind of parallel cooling system. Or, more realistically, simply creating a product that can serve as a basic piston and be used where repeatability doesn’t matter, or only two states (fully constricted and fully released) are needed. I think once a cheap off-the-shelf piston substitute is made that proves to be reliable within reasonable parameters, more attention/development will come to the technology with time.
For context, I don’t claim to be an expert either. I only recently graduated with my Bachelors in Engineering, and am starting at my first “real” (automation industry). But I’ve been interested/following along on and off with thermal actuators for many years, and have that as sort of a planned side project once I settle into my job. I could very well have missed some important designs/use cases/research out there though.
You just invented the sterling engine. Well done :)

Didn't they use something like this to make a fancy key card once? Hmm. I can't remember.
Looks like metal muscle for our future robot overlords
This is actually how the Microsoft Surfaces connect and disconnect the main tablet from the keyboard/palmrest assembly. The latches are pulled back by heating up the wire when the release button on the keyboard is pressed
Came here to say this!
Wow I didn't know that! That is really smart
is there a more detailed explaining of it? got me curious how it looks on the surface
Mine just has magnets, so it's cool that they made a better version.

That's how life is intended to be played.
What amps/volts did you put through the nitinol to cause it to contract? How hot did the nitinol get?
Nitinol consists of nickel and titanium. By slightly changing that ratio in the alloy, the transition temperature (temperature at which it returns to its natural state) can be adjusted. You can buy it so that this temperature is set between room temperature and skin temperature. Then, just skin contact will actuate it. Or it can be in the minus degrees. Or at the boiling point of water. Depends on what you need it for. This transition temperature as well as the wire diameter and length dictate how much amps you need for what time
If that's true then find me and send me 4 thousand dollars
Not me thinking that this could be used for a space elevator
Did anyone else want to say this is what Batman's cape is made out of?

Man this stuff is so cool. I went to this STEM convention a few years ago in Washington, DC and some company was giving out little line-arts made of Nitinol. I wish I still had that.

My thoughts exactly
I came for this exact comment and I wasn't disappointed
Makes you wonder if engines could use their heat to gain extra work through a system like this 🤔
Thank you for all your teachings!
This makes my physics book wiggle wiggle 😭😭
My knowledge just lifted. Thanks
Can you enlighten me as well?I didn't quite get it
I mean if you apply heat to solid it's supposed to expand no?
He just doesnt miss with these shorts.
At first I thought this would be a perpetual motion machine, which confused me because that’s not possible. But the more I thought about it, I realized it’s because of the heated water. You’d constantly need to be putting more heat into the system for this to work. It’s a really cool demonstration though!
Alternative title: “Unstable Elevator”
Props to the proteins that forms our muscles and that allows us to move much much efficiently energetically speaking.

soundS like my friends
haha so funny joke and also such huge courage wowowo
It could even lift people, if thick enough. Imagine getting pulled up like in spongebob, where they sat on the fishing hook.
the thought of using this metal in jigsaw's "GAME" always hits me up. imagine a victim have to stay in ice so he/she can pull the metal, before it get back to its shape stabbing their internal organs. it's basically either you let your internal body heat be the one to kill you or hypothermia lolol
The reason this isnt an infinite motion machine is because even if the water was perfectly insulated to where it doesn’t cool, the heat from the water is getting transferred to the metal and the metal is losing the heat to the ambient air while its spinning like how a radiator cools by using airflow so eventually the water will be room temperature. Also it’ll evaporate, and also the water will cool down on its own even if the wire wasn’t spinning it
Yes, but this is an interesting machine nonetheless, interesting way to convert thermal energy to kinetic energy.
I, along with three others, did a solar-powered Shape Memory Alloy engine for our Mechanical Engineering senior design class. One of our videos is on my channel. Turn the volume down though as the sound got messed up and I was too lazy to fix it and re-upload it.
