Re: Muscle Wire
John,
These have been around for a while. A Motorola engineer showed me an idea about 7 years ago he had for using this design. There are a number of drawbacks but they are pretty cool none the less. 60 watts for the largest size is a tough specification. Hard to get rid of the heat or supply the current but I am sure there are some interesting uses. Fine motor control of actuators is something that jumps to mind.
