This article is a continuation of the study of new types of knot energy (but is formally independent). It describes some experiments with mechanical models of knots (so-called twisted wire knots), contains rigorous definitions of their mathematical counterparts, formulations of a series of problems and conjectures. Different energy functionals for various classes of knot types and the corresponding normal forms are discussed and compared.
