Latest prototype
Greta and I have worked out another basic unit of movement that attempts to transfer the small movement of the flexinol into a larger object. This time the tension comes from gravity and the mass of the object that is moving plus the weight of the power source, which we thought had some potential for being an interesting move. In these versions the battery that is the weight is not hooked up but we did get that working in the end.
There is a potential for this unit to be aggregated at different densities to produce a field which could form a shifting volume or become a subtly moving screen.
