	Nitinol Tube (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Nitinol is an alloy of nickel and titanium whose superelastic properties have found widespread use in the manufacture of cardiovascular and other medical devices, including guide wires.
		Nitinol tube is of particular interest as a supelastic medium which can be placed through twisting cavities which are not normally accessible by less elastic media such as stainless steel tube.
		Nitinol tube however remains flexible, and its biocompatibility, fatigue strength and corrosion resistance makes it useful in providing a route for deployment of miniature medical devices inside the body, and for making those medical devices themselves.

	David Herron Shape Memory Alloys
		NiTinol is a generic trade name for NiTi alloys which are also referred to as Memory wire, Muscle wire or Flexinol depending on who is speaking and what use the NiTi alloy is being put to.
		NiTinol wire when heated so that it crosses the temperature transition point results in a contraction approximately 100 times greater than the expansion that would be exhibited in other common materials experiencing an equal temperature change.
		Nitinol derives its name from the fact that it is made from nickel (Ni) titanium (Ti) and was developed at the Naval Ordinance Lab (Nol).

	Shape memory alloy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The nickel-titanium alloys were first developed in 1962–1963 by the Naval Ordnance Laboratory and commercialized under the trade name Nitinol (an acronym for Nickel Titanium Naval Ordnance Laboratories).
		Their remarkable properties were discovered by accident: anecdotally, samples of the alloy were being subjected to strength tests by being pounded with hammers to see how much force was necessary to deform them.
		Under the transition temperature, Nitinol is in the martensite phase and can be bent into various shapes.

	URI GELLER'S INFLUENCE ON THE METAL ALLOY NITINOL
		To cause permanent change in the shape of nitinol wire, which Geller repeatedly did, normally requires that one heat the wire to a temperature of about 900 degrees F and reshape it under considerable tension.
		The alloy has been extensively studied and its characteristics are well known, the main one being that nitinol wire has a physical memory for the shape in which it is formed at the time of manufacture.
		Geller had clearly influenced the alloy nitinol in a most unusual way: it was as if the kinks he produced had actually been manufactured into the wires, even though it had been conclusively determined before any experimentation that the permanent configuration of the wires was that of straight lines.
