Ok tensile structures is not the concept I’m thinking of then, but memory alloys can totally serve a function in mechanical transfer systems. Like, coiled vanadium dioxide ribbons can reach a torsional speed of 200,000 rpm, and twisted yarn actuators… tho I’m unsure if those qualify as SMAs
Gah I’mma jus gonna slep, heck all a you, this fucko’s out -` A´-
Clockwork is a very inefficient transmission mechanism for such a high-end mechatronic unit; memory alloys and tensile structures that provide a more muscle-like function are a more optimal choice.
@zedrin-maybe said: those are completely different things :V
That “and” is not a logic gate integrating both systems into one, you butt, it’s there for semantic’s sake; they’re just two examples given >:V
