    Calculate Energy Needed for Flexinol Contraction in Vacuum

    I have a flexinol wire, and it has a resistance of 0.11 ohms/inch and it requires 4000mA for a 1 second contraction. I was wondering how much energy was required for a 1 second contraction and if I were to heat the flexinol under a vacuum, how much less energy would be required. The flexinol is...
