Thank you very much. Good demonstration. I want to use muscle wire for my robot projects because servos are way too loud, and become annoying very quickly. Thanks.
Those flexinol wires are very strong they are better than brushless servos and with no sound but can't spin an axis 360°C they work just like the human muscles.
Bought 3 of these TOKI servos around 2007, they are a bit pricey but works well compared to magnetic actuators (more torque & holding power, no magnetic interference when using near another Toki). They tend to slow down in higher temperature which matter less in indoor R/C! micronwings.com/Products/Servo%20Biometal/index.shtml
Great work and great idea. But you shouldn't be showing this on UA-cam if you haven't applied for patent. You will loose a serious amounts of money in royalties. Good luck.
Yeah. And you can even have fun driving to the store. It is way more fun to buy things that to use your brain, apply your skills and imagination to create something... right?

how do they work? human muscles use sliding of actin fibers over myosin and that consumes ATP, how do these fibers contract? what is their mechanism?
Very biological motion, great work!
すごい although... i would like to see a demonstration of how strong these wires are, compared to how much electricity is used.
The back and forth, it that be reverse on one wire or using two wire pull and pull?
is there anywhere u can buy this type of machine?
about how much current are you using in the wire and what size wire?

compared to motor servo, this is perfectly silent?
yes
Where do you get those "muscle wires"..?
Great work and great idea.

Good luck.
he made it himself
how does it push?
how does it work?
Where can I get one?
@MicrotekMybisi looks like standard centimeter...
it looks like a mini servo
cool
what is the disadvantages against to servo motor
size, weight, and noise
Yeah. And you can even have fun driving to the store.

eletronic's shops
google it! :)
Prolly a second wire in opposition to the first.
i would personally use servo for this kind of application
I never asked for this...
@COROVICD This isn't patentable...
This is what happens inside RC cars for steering. Whats point in showing ?
this is not using a standard servo found in RC cars, this is using muscle wire
thats crap. better just buy a futaba S9650, and a receiver and Tx, and you get 3 kilograms of torque, and an impressive speed!
And a ton of noise.
@@danesparza77 omg! 15 years later. Glad to say I'm still alive, is this servo still in production? Lol
Left , right , left , right , left , right , pointless
it's showing muscle wire doing the job instead of a servo, it's not pointless
