I also would like to becom immortal!!!! So it seems our goals align. From now on, consider me a subscriber and part of the crew. Cant wait to see how you evolve over time and what cool projects you create and how you augment yourself!! Who knows, i may even take inspiration from you someday. Cheers man and i hope you succeed 🎉
Nice work. You're using Nitinol right? If so I suggest using thicker gauge. You'll get more forceful contraction and you can better control the temperature of the material. If you over heat it to orange you will detrain the nitinol and it will lose it's contractile force.
Hello! I've been following your project with great interest. Would it be possible for you to share some STL files of the hand? I'd love to try and recreate your work. Thank you!
Nice! Do you think it will be possible to place artificial muscles inside of the printed hands? Also, I would recommend to use a thermal camera in order to check the temperature or thermistors. I’ve been trying to use voice coil for such project. But was not successful with mimicking movements
NICE, maybe attach the muscle on the back of the hand with some kind of a rubber band type thing to contract it and by adjusting the watts you could adjust the strength of the muscle (I think, never played with that kind of stuff), so that you can control how much it's going to contract, also the rubber band has to be not that strong since the metal you use isn't that strong either
Damn, you've made real progress! You might want to try using springs instead of rubber bands Also an other way you could replace them would be by using a second muscle on the opposite side so this way you can control both the contraction and the expansion. And i'm not sure but maybe by contracting them both at the same time it could "lock" the finger in place ?
That is correct! Considering that the muscle is very thin, it could be stacked on itself, or combined with itself in different orientations to achieve better pulling force.
Haven’t watched, I would suggest using oiled cords (like tendons) and depending on what you want, for strength use linear actuators or force speed use 150 kg servos
I really like this comment. I'm currently designing a hand and am going to use flat tpu tendons for the hands. I'm going to go with 4 tendons per finger (2 front, 2 back) with the attachment points being the top of the first finger joint and the middle of the last joint with a constraint of some kind on the middle joint
While you are doing original experimental research, maybe also research what has already been done, and basic principles of physics and materials science. You could save yourself a lot of wasted time and effort.
I did a lot of research into the first kind of muscle demonstrated in this video. Which was first experimented on in an MIT lab. The muscle, I ended up making, was just a random idea. In future videos, I intend to take the idea, improve it, and put it to good use.
Really nice video, you should get more attention!
bro's playing scrap mechanic irl, i love it
Well done guy, I believe that you will be able to implement all your ideas!
finnnnnnnaly!!!!!! I've waiting for it so looong!!!
Nice progress

Thats awesome! It would be really interesting to know how many contractions it could do and how much force and so on.
I agree, that way he could easily know how the changes he makes affect performance.
very epic and cool

couldn't you make 2 of them and put them in something like a scissor lift formation to make it contract and expand

@@thelaughingman3443 good luck dude!
