Hi I would like to pick your brain if possible. I am building a robot and need an artificial muscle that is cost effective and that can preform similar to a human muscle but scalable as far as lifting force. Could you advise what your recommendation would be? I see your video and think this as being something that would not be very fast since to get max lifting force it would require 85c of heat and I don't want to generate heat. I have also found hasel actuators but not sure I can get my hands on those readily. Thanks in Advance.
This is a very challenging problem that many research groups are trying to solve. The best non-thermal options at the moment are dielectric elastomers or HASEL systems. Sorry, but we don't have any practical experience with such to offer you. Best of luck with your project.
Why dont you want to generate heat? Almost every actuation system generates heat in one way or another. Having a cooling system would likely be the way around it.
Just wondering but arnt muscles usually interlaced? Like I’m not that much into understanding mechanics or anatomy or science but the diagrams I’ve seen of like arms usually there is many muscles so from what I’m picking up, arnt these artificial muscles kind of impressive? Like a few centimeters, Isant that more then ours move ? Again this is all going over my head .
@@awlomthesheepermen you are right. I have seen some other videos where people have tried twisting the actuators. And various other things to improve the strain... but honestly these things have massive range of movement compared to our muscles. Also, I haven't found anyone trying to abstract how our system of muscles work to move our limbs. Either they seem to be trying to recreate it 1:1 or not at all. Anyways I'm excited to see what I can build with these actuators!
@@wiredvibe1678 hey I just like learning about stuff, but hey maybe if you are building stuff you should try making a video talking about what you’re trying to build and your idea and process, it would be a very fascinating

I can’t give you anything specific but I’ve done some research into this here’s my Snapchat and can send you pics of the notes I’ve taken jhark2000

What about speed?
as fast as your pump

you sir... are a genius
@@wiredvibe1678 a year later, wow this actually sounds smart. Was I actually understanding diagrams? Wild I don’t remember making this comment

@@wiredvibe1678 anyways yeah this whole field is so cool, I hope you make something cool. I’m not in engineering, I just do dishes at a restaurant
