Can the voltage of a low power application be produced by friction electricity? I would use the dielectric silicone muscle to operate a membrane pump (possibly employing lever and bellow to increase volume) and make larger moving parts pneumatic. I think e.g. of soft sensory toy and therapy robots like an advanced version of Zoogooz (those yet contain no actual soft robotics). The mechanism would be also interesting for making ultra-lightweight indoor planes (similar like the Festo butterfly drone).
The word robot is derived from slavic languages and the word "rabota" which literally means "work". A rabotnik (Russian, Macedonian, etc.. ) or robotter (German) is a worker or servant. Just a fun fact...
Sadly I just found your video. I see amazing potential for soft prosthetic limbs which is something I have been wanting to build for a long time. I know it is late now but I'll be following your channel. It'll be very interesting to have a chat some time. Thank you very much.

Where can I buy some of this dielectric elastomers? I'm searching for this but I just can't find.
Hi, please contact Professor Iain Anderson who will be able to assist you. Contact details are here unidirectory.auckland.ac.nz/profile/iand002
@@bioengineering-institute can I buy it as a diy/hobbyist?
@@electricityofmind6300 Good question. Also interested.
You can build them by yourself, the are pretty easy and incredibly basic to understand
