Happy Monday ... Here's a video that will blow your mind.




The metal is called Nitinol Metal, and is called the memory metal by most. To find out more about Nitinol let's visit Wikipedia.

A shape memory alloy (SMA, smart metal, memory alloy, muscle wire, smart alloy) is an alloy that "remembers" its original, cold, forged shape, and which returns to that shape after being deformed by applying heat. This material is a lightweight, solid-state alternative to conventional actuators such as hydraulic, pneumatic, and motor-based systems. Shape memory alloys have applications in industries including medical and aerospace.

I have decided to build my next car out of this stuff. Let some @%^hole ding it ... I'll just pour hot water on it!!!
