lightbulb moment
The wire loop's movement is interesting because it acts with a release, a spring effect. The closer you get to upsetting its position, the more it wants to jump into its new position. I think this "desire" could be graphed like bell curve. What we want to do is to find the right position for the flexinol so that it brings this wire to its critical position.
The video below shows the construction and our attempt.
