Step 3 Make the Nitinol actuator

1. Crimp a ring lug on each end of the Nitinol wire.
2. Wrap the wire around a nail or other metal rod and use a small piece of 30 awg wire to hold the Nitinol wire in place.
3. Heat the Nitinol wire in an open flame. This will reset the memory of the Nitinol and turn it into a spring shape.
4. Remove the Nitinol from the nail and solder a 6" piece of 30 awg wire to each ring lug
