Thanks for the answer, Nik_2213
Initially, I wanted to use this drive for large robots (mecha), but given all the problems will need a different drive.
The idea was to remove most of the intermediate systems (cables, gears, etc.) and make a muscle-like structure, for the legs and hands of the...
Thank you for the link, this is very interesting information
I realized why electrostatic engines don't use, but it was about their low power relative to volume, and these fibers occupy a relatively small space, and in the drive they can be placed very much, which partially solves the problem of...
Hi, berkeman
Repelling conductors with the same charge(+ and +,- and - )
Is it electrostatic?
If that's the case, I'll change the construction.
This type of muscle proposed to use as considered interesting, and quite effective.
Hi, Baluncore
Initially, I was going to use copper, or nylon with copper coating, but it is not durable material, so decided to ask on the forum
The mechanism is based on the repelling of conductors with the same charge, and consists of a long guide in the form of a spiral (the conductor...
Project for creating electro-muscle fiber for robotic drives
The drive consists of a central spiral guide and external thin conductors as (muscles) as well as coils at the ends of the muscle, and is in a strong elastic casing.
Do you think how effective such a muscle will be and from which...
