Buying more flexinol locally
http://www.imagesco.com/
These guys are in Staten Island and can get any length of flexinol wire quite quickly.
What we started off with was the .006 'HT' (high temperature) wire.
The flexinol only needs 1.5V, and they recommend a more controlled source than battery power (we used an AC-DC converter from RadioShack, which works like a charger cable/power source for any electronic device.. it regulates the power much better than a battery).
