Touch Sensor Prototype 3: Relay
Lisa Ekle, Pierre Gerlier, Keith Greenwald, Michael Walch
We experimented with a relay to get more power directly to the Flexinol. The Flexinol was unable to take the extra voltage. It produced smoke and quick abrupt movements. We will experiment with a thicker or longer Flexinol wire for our next prototype which will be able to withstand more voltage and will produce greater movement.
