Видео

По большей части - бесполезная ерунда. Но вот заслонка для света на последнем кадре может быть использована как диафрагма для регулировки не только светового, но и воздушного потока. Правда на всех этих ребрах будет быстро скапливаться пыль. А чистить её очень неудобно. Поэтому все равно чушь.

All the examples look nice and beautiful, but none of them seems to be the best option to do the work they are designed for. That table.. just seems it going to blend if I put just 5 or 6 kg of weight, and you say it will be afordable, just tell me how much for that table. Just useful for decoration, very beautiful.

It is surprising that some of the content of this video was included under the name of several normally well regarded institutions, - several claimed possible mechanisms involving interpenetrating surfaces somehow folding flat 'thorough' each other and illustrated by computer generated renders - make the whole thing reminiscent of an hastily contrived end report of an uncompleted undergraduate assignment.

It's a tent too

I learn most of this stuff from pop-up books

This is amazing. I love it :) <3 But PLEASE, if you are going to profit from this, let it be not just from selling finished products, please also sell us software or a software plugin we can use to design our own variations. You may do it under whatever license, just please let us at least make our own variants and the maker community will give your project SO much publicity. You can require profitable products designed using it to stamp Kiriform on the product/description, whatever you need to do.. of course fully open source would be IDEAL but... we live in a society and all that Again, amazing, great work all

this is so cool. I love technology

Cool to see this idea being played with at larger scales, but this certainly isn't new. I remember seeing these kind of flextures in paper craft books and Australian Geographic stores in toys 15-20 years ago.

Very interesting. A use perhaps in kinetic art forms which is an interest of mine at the moment. As for patenting,,, good luck with that as it is in essence “origami”.

WOW, this is amazing. I love it. It reminds me of AI. It's full of potential for anyone to use, cheap, and waiting for millions of problems waiting to be solved by anyone. ❤

I'm sure idiots will buy it.

The vast majority of use case examples almost completely failed at the function that was being demonstrated. (ie a lamp shade that doesn't shade the lamp)

Animatronic frog throught???

This is a solution looking for a problem... all the examples are useless

Beautiful! This is an inspiration for further work, and for students. Thank you.

2차원에서 3차원의 변화는 공간과 열과 뒤틀림을 수반한다는 기본 원리 블랙홀 해석에 단초가 될 것 같기도 하네요 블랙물질과 우주대폭발은 큰 블랙홀의 폭발이고 그 잔향이 현재 의 블랙홀로 남은 건 아닌지 ....중력이라는 물리적 연결성은 존재하고 그 시작점은 중량이 존재하고 공간이 발생하는 끝 지점은 열과 중력(연결성) 특정 지점에 이르러 원형을 이루며 ...

It is also act as an emergency shock absorber that stays flat and deploys when needed

What???

Nice video. I look forward to the integration of bimetallic and NiTinol materials for temperature and electric actuation.

Эту штуку можно использовать на пистолетах

Flexures are cool, but IRL, every part that I encountered that used flexing as a mechanism, eventually failed due to fatigue. It's Usually the first thing to go.

Bistable compliant mechanisms are pretty cool. Right up there with oragami and 3d printing.

Very cool

So you patented natures Torus?

>rigid mechanisms slander >shows a mechanism that can be made from off the shelf rigid parts much faster than from CNC laser cut elastic material

This just has no practical uses lol

If it was ultralight, it could make an interesting kite.

Nice 👌

Even if patented, thanks for sharing your work. The inspiration for other engineering students is invaluable, I can already start to explore flexures like this but using centrifugal phenomena and or thermal expansion as actuation mechanisms for more autonomous operation or different environmental conditions, and cite your work as a source of inspiration/data.

Given the right geometry and materials this could make a great universal soft griping tool for light duty on a robotic manipulator! Hmmm possibilities

What’re the chances of accessing an STL or model file? (Assuming 3D printing is a viable means given its not isotropic) I wanna build one to better understand the mechanism

I feel like this could be useful for small robots and like rescue bots

is that a homestuck reference!!?!

Add a small hidden spring to the two layered one could make a cool ball 🏀 or game for kids

Wait if you can make turbines, you can make drone rotors... So the driving car example, could also be a flying drone.. can you tell your software to optimize for Lift ? Haha😅

Thanks for positing all of these. Especially this one. This one gave me inspiration for an application of something like this!

It's alive!

this reminds me of the spirographs from homestuck

Кулачковый привод на любой вкус😊

Если каждую половинку можно сделать из множества сборных сегментов, то возможно изготовление каркаса для быстровозводимых сооружений и зданий, типа вигвам, палатка, юрта, чум. Возведение каркаса одним движением. При чрезвычайных ситуациях очень полезно иметь такие сооружения и для активного отдыха тоже подойдёт.👍

How can it work as a turbine if the twinned blade surfaces are twisted in opposite chiral directions? Love that you used grasshopper in rhino. My favourite

…レンズに応用できるかも知れない

The adult in me thinks this is an outstanding achievement. The child in me is just reminded of Homestuck.

Neat, thank you! Reminds me of the "pop-up books" I read as a child -- wonder if that was inspiration?

Where I get files. I like 3d print them

The turbines are so awesome!! And also the half wall at 3:50 didnt see the flat version of it, can you please show it. Also do you think you could make a shape like an igloo? Where theres ceiling structure above, but a door or even a wide open arc like a cave , similar to the half curved wall, but bigger and with overhead ❤

If super big, this would make a greate dome! ❤ Also! Do you think you could make an oval shape??? This looks like it could be an Incredible Tent! Especially if it can folded when flat 🤯 Trying to imagine a print in-place flat lockable joints so that it can be folded x4, opened, and locked. I imagine a coin with a crease in the middle.. turning 90° to enable/disable foldind of the joint. =⦶= open, can fold =⦵= closed, cannot fold Like a map, open all the folds, lock all the joints, twist... Bam! A tent The joints need to be really good, flat, and durable, and with a color indication of opened joints to help close all quickly. Would love to know what you think, and especially if you think this can be oval 🙏 Awesome work!

I can imagine a sci-fi scene with someone from space throwing this down at it turning into a micro fusion glowing generator haha

This is so awesome ❤ I'm guessing you could make this out of a material that can be cured.. for example the table example, make it with a uv resin, and make it hardened, remove tabs, give it glass like qualities, incredible

This demo doesn't look very stiff...it would appear that there are tradeoffs between the flexibility needed to allow deployment, vs. the stiffness required in applications? Any comments on the "envelope" of this relationship? Cheers!
