Hello,

I ran a search online and found some examples of Nichrome and Ring and Hook based mechanisms, but i don't have enough experience to make an intelligent decision for my project. Does anyone have a good source of information for these things?

Thanks.

It is not clear what you are asking. More details would help.
 
If you can provide more information on the application it would be nice... [emoji4]
 
I think it's the release mechanism for his glider...
