Holy moly, that was compact and detailed in just the right ratio. Respects and hats off

[@biggisbobisglynnyglennis1509]

I’m have gotten really interested in artificial muscles and this is extremely helpful besides it’s simplicity

[@MotorFlaps]

Man, I like it a lot. You rock bro. Wish you the best

[@XYZAidan]

+MotorFlaps Thanks so much dude!

[@electrohigh9777]

@@XYZAidan can i use water instead of air?

[@dabbleshells542]

This was a very informative and helpful piece.

[@lynjhonosia1190]

This is really amazing, thank you a lot for this,

[@JDiegar]

The nut was a good idea. Thanks!

[@bluewookie41]

Well done sir. Thanks!

[@aidanturnip]

Thank you!

Hahahahaha last lines you can make the choice to like or dislike the video😂 I loved your attitude

[@edism]

Good video!

[@XYZAidan]

Edward Yeboah thanks!

[@travlerhansen2969]

how much weight can it hold

[@sevdev9844]

Hi, in which local shops do I have the best chances to get the parts? Especially the braided sleeving. Electrician? Also, if I want to use a silicone tube instead of the balloon, any ideas where to get that? Also, whats the reasoning behind these balloons, compared to others? That they last longer, and so they are more resiliant?

[@oatmealman1586]

This is a really underrated video

[@Varue]

How would you compare this to a hydraulic muscle? Is it more or less like a real muscle?

[@PuckLokin]

The balloons I got seem to want to inflate in one area first, not all at once like the finished one shown here. Is there a particular material, brand, or technique that would alleviate my woes?

[@hazelrot8710]

Chris Rysdale maybe mesh sleeving will change the situation

[@friedrichschauffelhut8037]

Well done! Very easy to reproduce!
My daughter put your idea to work in a school project ( ruclips.net/video/ULF__Ix7VrY/видео.html ).
She had to build a model of an elbow joint,
demonstrating how biceps and triceps work together moving the lower arm.
She also created a short video clip explaining her project: ruclips.net/video/ULF__Ix7VrY/видео.html
Thanks again for the great explanation!

[@Zebrox_Editz]

Respect man,
We also created it as our project and attached some muscle sensor to load weight when flex! But there using compressor

[@input_games]

What material is the yellow tube made of?

[@snorttroll4379]

how durable are these?=

[@J_gumbainia]

Can you test the artificial muscle you made of "extend and contract" length and size "with weight lifting test?.

[@drbelli]

P.E. teacher told me to build some muscles... now what?!

[@daviddefranco5218]

I am going to make a mechanical waging tail for my tailless cat.

[@maths5214]

How can we attach a clap in the end of the muscles to lift heavy things

[@ImClaytoniThink]

enjoyed that! cant wait to see more!

[@یاسینخرمی-ج3ض]

[@gonk_ch]

THANK YOU!

[@boringman6491]

You are amazing

[@stevep4237]

how much Psi did you output from the syringe?

[@TheThreeVs]

What does the Balloon do?

[@XYZAidan]

The balloon inflates, causing the mesh to expand and the actuator to contract

[@Vroomvroomimcar]

aye that’s my last name

[@XYZAidan]

im sorry for stealing your muscles

[@program_brain]

what is the name of the black tube sir?

[@XYZAidan]

Mesh sleeving!

[@program_brain]

thank u sir

[@samgray4370]

hey man, "PPS Expandable Braided Sleeving" is what I found it under, hope that helps :-)

[@chiranthchiru6346]

good thinking and good video
