the spring is supposed to contract.
Turn a spring into a muscle-motor?
OTOH, a spring in a magnet field might produce current when changing length.
Well really no might about that.

I don't keep up with current affairs, but I am looking forward to spring.
Personally I prefer sultanas, so if you run a sultana through a spring will it contract?
...until the current goes too high and the spring melts.
I don't know about metal springs but twisted fishing line makes a good electrically-contracted artificial muscle:
Get a heavier spring and max rating or get a limiting resistor?
I think it might be strong enough to release a catch/lock or move an indicator.
I was thinking of the compression spring in a click-pen if they're still steel,
put one on a button magnet and it might make a self-powered button.
Hey, hydraulic lifter substitute for a Tesla!
Sounds cool, can't wait to see it. You can make a player keyboard and watch it type lorem ipsum.
It's all Greek err Latin to me....
Black currants are okay, but then you have to power it with dark energy.
You have to have both a blackcurrant and a redcurrant to make a circuit.
Jam
Do you serve cheek and jam in this place?
Pint of ale withthat?
Most mains powered space heaters run current through coil spring heating elements. They will vibrate when powered with a magnet close by.
And bread toasters though that may be to make higher resistance with longer wires.
This idea started with getting DIY cap sense and thinking that springs with keycaps might make good buttons.
