I’m an orthodontist…we also use this to align your teeth with braces. The wire comes in a “standard” arch shape (the shape of straight teeth around an arch, it’s a U shape). The wire deforms when we put it in the brackets which are on mis-aligned teeth (aka not in a perfect U shape), and the wire slowly returns to its original perfect U shape, helped by the heat of your mouth, which causes your teeth to move to their ideal position (which happens by your teeth causing your jawbone to dissolve and reform). It revolutionized orthodontics. Awesome material for sure!

[@quiggies2066]

I'm an orthodontic assistant and came looking for this Niti Wire comment. It is an amazing metal!

[@bethanienaylor]

WOW that's amazing! I've worn braces before.

[@maderightamerica3216]

Allright I want to use this with my 3D printer. I wonder who will be the first to create Notinol as a filament. I'm handicapped and would love to use it to help me walk longer distances. Right now I can only walk about 30 feet (10 meters) before I have to sit down for a minute and rest my leg. God bless the scientist who discovered this amazing metal.

[@mcombatti]

Unfortunately that's not possible 😮‍💨 the bonds which make nitinol work, would be broken by the melting process. Nitinol only works between certain temperatures. After a certain temperatures, it "breaks" the ability to return to it's shape, and just becomes a piece of wire

[@Dr.Eximious]

Artificial muscles are being worked on currently. God bless.

I have this inside my veins. I have a rare condition in which my iliac artery compressed my iliac vein due to my anatomy and caused a blood clot. My Interventional cardiologist put this inside my vein so that my iliac vein won’t collapse again. It literally saved my life.

[@Zim_Zala]

This metal will never forget

Unless it's left on a beach under the hot sun with a drink like most of us...

Years ago when worked in medical devices we used it as a framewlrk for vascular stents and grafts. Realy cool material.

[@nathanhale7444]

I remember seeing videos on ufo documentaries that showed a piece of metal that could be folded and would go back to its original Shape. I bet it was made of nitinol and the filmer was just blowing hot air on it off camera.

my brain is not enough to understand all these stuff!!! its really a magical one and I am thankful to all the scientists who are working on this. God bless you all ❤❤. love and respect 🙏🏻

[@thetruthexperiment]

Ah yes. The old heat gun to the foot shoe. What an awesome idea.

[@egakharisma3588]

"The Metal That Remember" kind of awesome scifi movie title

[@paleogeology9554]

You could use this as an alt to traditional fiberglass casts and those big bulky boots they give you when you break bones. 3d scan the persons arm, then 3d print the cast out of a stiff but comfy material and then line it with Nitinol so everything is reenforced

[@DL101ca]

Yes it will only cost 50 Grand. Make the tread out of diamonds as well for improved traction and durability...🤦‍♂️

Kinda like when the military uses similar technology on their aircraft, one it reaches certain altitude, the heat changes the form of the craft, allowing it to go much faster

2:48 - I have glasses made of the same stuff. Go ahead, keep bending them around 90 degrees or more. It stresses the metal and at some point it WILL break, despite the otherwise amazing properties.

[@wordzfailmebro]

Straight from the Roswell UFO crash. Thanks to Phillip Corso.

[@christianyoutubegaming]

Metal can actually hold memories better than most materials and very few can see the past memories of that object by holding it.

[@normandothegreat]

Not that it matters, but the first time I purchased Nitinol was in the late 1980's. It was through an educators science source catalog, so I'm not sure if that classifies it as being available to the general public? 🤔 Cool stuff!

[@anthonyhenderson2641]

Hello Sir Good evening I have a request to you, Can you please make videos of all civil engineering test. Soil mechanics test are very helpful me and watched all videos.

[@theastuteangler]

Been used in fishing lures for 20 years. Was in the space industry before that.

[@jaythomp4536]

Sounds similar to the meta-material, or “memory metal” supposedly found at the Roswell incident in July 1947. Reverse engineered?

[@jaythomp4536]

This was developed in ‘61?

[@maximilianrpm2927]

the development of a similar material started during WW2, however it was not reliable and never achieved it's goals. It was a few years AFTER 1947 *wink wink* that the US military took a giant step and produced Nitinol. And Alex Jones was right!

[@svpat97]

Can you highlight the cost associated with that? And what about places with sub-zero temperature

[@Duck.1]

Well mars has -73C nights

[@Resonanttheme]

How does the property of metal ringing when it is dropped and hits the ground become a feature that you want in nose cones? That is, what characteristic is indicated by a ringing metal that makes it a potentially useful material for nose cones?

[@andrewreynolds912]

This material is cool

[@srikanthungata6764]

Shape memory of metals or alloys are common thing but some alloys exhibit this property more to small variable temperatures. Applications are much more vast and start from using in human hearts to Space shuttle and sensors.

[@ykmusic1051]

It does have the property of shape memory as well as super elasticity. This material is used very extensively in the dental speciality of Orthodontics.

[@mattsavage9960]

I find it very interesting that the naval centre were doing research with Wright Patterson air force base as the time of this so called chance discovery.

[@4gates4]

They should use this for the new sr72 blackbird or as gaskets bw the titanium panels since the exterior acts as a fueselage for maximum fuel capacity and weight savings needed for hypersonic travel. As the previous sr71 had fuel leakage after high temp from flights would cause the titanium to warp. But this would allow fitting clearences to remain more precise in duty. Lockheed martin should look into this, if they havent already. Imagine if this alloy could combine w silicon to allow for elec flow, chip degradation and electronics reliabilty would greatly improve bc it would retain it shape from heat stress.

[@walcottdion5821]

Sciece is sooooo cool😎 Awsome metal💪

There's a reason this metal is not mass produced. It has very specific tasks and can not untangle itself.

[@Arun_d_kurun]

What kind of energy it is losing to get back to its original state??

[@marcinhibner9507]

You can definitely create free free free electricity from. Not entirely free of course but once created cost etc,. as structures combinations in staged levels and hooked up to generators in swarms let's say and then they can be used in seasonal daily weather conditions.

[@musaamurit]

My one question is how do you tailor it to a first form which it will turn back to after any deformation?

[@DL101ca]

You show a picture of the shape to the alloy when it's born...😶

Heat it up and let it and let it cool in the shape you want.

[@marikleinen1189]

It would be nice to use that technique for the people who have their legs problems of concern. Some people have a really stiff legs, and some people have to wear specially tight socks and they cannot wear their shoes on by bending themselves easily anymore since they lost bending functions quite a lot. Is it possible to help patients with parkinson, as well as the people who cannot wear shoes with ribbons for men, women and kids? The shoe' thread type ribbons are great, but it would be nice to have the "alternatives" to have such "purposes to be able to survive as one of the survival solutions to be able to escape, in order to live to enjoy LIFE" by having such "flexibilities of shrinking functions "to serve the needs "to connect the LIFE of the ribbon to ABLE to "al" WALK"? I think, I saw such tie rubber like ribbon shoes for kids, but I don't think I have seen such "FUNCTIONS" for the WOMEN and MEN'S Shoes for their expensive working shoe laces 👞 👢 . Perhaps I should visit the shoe shop to see, if I have not only found it yet, by maybe I have not asked "the right questions". 🤔❤️😘 By the way, I was wondering if such particles of metals are in our body already applied? I don't want to my acquaintance to "throw away" the shoes, if we could save their shoes in finding this "alternative solution". I see, it will help men and wome greatly with their w-"al"-king shoes to literally be able to w-"al"-k. ❤️😊😘🤭

why is he credited with discovering it when he took the formulation from a book?

He discovered the properties and how to control them. The book had the hypothetical formulas based on calculations and not physical tests I believe . Much like Mendeleyev left empty spaces in the periodic table for elements that had not been discovered yet.
