We decided to explore the use of Canadian smock for our actuator experiment. To achieve this, we incorporated flexinol wire into a wave pattern, replacing the knots. When heated, the fabric would fold into the characteristic smock shape. We prepared the flexinol wire in a coiled or spring shape, enabling it to contract when heated. Below, you can observe an example of the initial fold of the smock (powered by a 9V battery).
So here its working! :)

I was inspired by this Flapping Crane and came to the idea of a rising hand. I prepared the flexinol - which means "trained" it with fire, the same process like for previous Canadian Smock. The result was not amazaing as I wanted as I needed to put the flexinol in the fingers as well in order for it to raise fully. So here are the images and video.
