Carbon Nanotube Muscle #2

[Mister86Productions]

Crysis!

[fishfrizbee]

Here comes the Terminators

[RSKullcrusha]

ooh carbon nanotube power glove. many holes in walls.

[reaper22066]

@RSKullcrusha I love the power glove. It's so bad.

[RSKullcrusha]

@reaper22066 yeah, it is.

[Magnumscoffeefreek]

I cant wait to have carbon nanotube dong. To go all night long!

[person1028]

what would the price of the fibers be?

[chris11sholtz]

in all honesty, to use a suit made of something like that, you would either move at the same speed (i.e. the suit reads exactly what you were going to do, and does it at the exact same time your arm does) so you would be very strong, but not nesisarrily quicker, OR you would put someone in it, they would go to move, and the suit would move so fast that it broke their legs/arms, and the resulting spasms would break their neck and the rest of their bones.

[NexAngelus405]

@chris11sholtz I think that problem could be solved by having the user wear an apparatus similar to an orthopedic brace (similar in design to the leg braces Forrest Gump wore when he was a kid) that is worn over the entire body. The brace would be made of carbon fiber reinforced polymers.

[FelipexProductions]

this is........i dont even know what im looking at, but it looks cool haha

[ForerunnerConstruct]

Nanosuit or genocidal machines. Which one of these will they use those carbon nanotube muscles on first?

[bluemonolith88]

not funny at all.

[Oceanstorm80]

@ForerunnerConstruct For people who need an extremity?

[ForerunnerConstruct]

@Oceanstorm80 Can't be done. A cybernetic arm using these muscles would ben to strong for the normal human body to handle, and you would wind up damaging yourself. If you only needed the lower arm replaced, you would have to replace the entire arm, plus all the muscles and bones in the shoulder and on that side of your chest and back. At that point you might as well replace everything and make an full blown cybernetic body with a human brain in it. Then the question is, is that person human?

[RebirthWoWGuild]

i tried to chew on one of these and it just murdered me

[utubmania2009]

Perhaps another 25 yrs to go become a reality as practical application. There still yet to find way to transfer electrical charge from one end to another.

[Fiercedeity02]

Couldn't they have a "nerve" like system which distributes the electrity to the muslce tissue needing it? Much like the human body does for it's own muscles.

[ChristopOW]

Ions. Nerve cells send impulses to the muscle cell which releases Calcium into the muscle cell starting the cycle of contraction. I don't know if transferring ions with nanotubes would be feasible though plus there is speculations that CNTs are toxic in similar ways that asbestos is.

[CarribbeanPearlVoice]

this video was interesting but didnt help me at all on my project

[Fiercedeity02]

It's carbon fucking nanotubes you idiot. This could rebuild muscle in a person who lost an arm, and then that person could lift 1000 lbs.... Jesus christ you can't see the big picture here.

[Barricade]

Unless you rebuild their shoulder bones with metal/ceramic replacements and the arm prosthetic goes all the way to their chest, replacing all muscle there - no, you can't lift 1,000 lbs. You'd rip the prosthetic out of the living tissue.

[Fiercedeity02]

Silly nilly, that's when an exo-suit would be used to shoulder the weight. You'd already have a bionic arm, why not add a suit which can give added strength?

[W1ldSm1le]

then shoulder mounted action missles and kung fu grip.

[mcdjay]

and a frikin laser on your head...lol

[Oxstayne]

I can aquat 1,000 lbs lmao, yeah thats why im carefully with my arms.

[fucksatanism]

So this is a shadow of the nanomuscle?

[carameloxx]

no that shadow is the nanomuscle it just looks like that kuz the cam is not close

[GhostSigma]

tengo miedo

[shadowace421]

great now try to make a variety of those to mach all of the musclels in a human body and put them together and you got yourselfs a dam good android

[chair5432]

Yes...I went there

[chair5432]

I would use this for variable stator vanes or precision fuel control valves in turbine engine applications....any takers?

[chair5432]

imagine a fleshlight with this technology built into it......i would be shooting blanks in a week

[oklahoma1u]

haha

[tylerlfrench]

Amen!

[datzfast]

@chair5432 like your fleshlight doesnt get pounded twice a day already, sure dude.

[putittogether]

This may be the foundation discovery for an Android muscle system. Power by a fluid dynamic system, it could well solve many problems, plaguing the robotic movement.

[commentraid]

dah

[ripebillygoatbung]

i am a master

[tthausen]

Oh sweet baby rays

IM GOING TO EJACULATE....

BOOM, protine everywhere

[EricksA2]

That's the sexiest thing I've ever seen.

[cenasux619]

she gotta donk!!!!!!!!!

[ivan123456789101112]

OMG this is freakin amazing!!

How could the dolphin jump so high??

[epicenter16]

wow, did not know that it was possible.. the future is now

[Halfcastkid]

i dont get it

WHATS HAPPEN THERE?

i dont see nothin

[MadPutz]

This is definitely an important step in robotics and materials technology. The Singularity Is Near :)

[lalitoGUM]

this is amazing!!!  holy shit!

[ScorpionSavior]

This is how babies are made!!!!

[trickmastermonkey]

i don't get it. where is the cute little bunny going to come out of

[cott0nballs]

wow :|

[upinrags]

what is this

[MERIO88]

so?

[ludwigious]

it just puffs out...

[MikaOwns]

when can i make a suit out of em like in crysis

[newton2013]

oh- sooner than we think

[0xAbaRaM911405]

@MikaOwns

soon

[EyeOnTheTV]

the CNT film is being warped by the electrical current and the laser passing through the CNT film is being refracted by the warping.

[asilayloathing]

that's a scientific revolution tight there!

[Nemesais]

can you please explain it to me?

[MassZombicide]

E.g. Think of the actuators that can be manufactured from it. Right now they're bulky and stiff and make things like Honda's awesomo run like a fag but if we start utilizing carbon nanotube muscles to simulate our own actuators, it may come to have dexterity and shit

[Parasome]

The Human hand has been sought to mechanize for ages. Nothing has ever come close to replicating the motion and beauty of the human hand. This is a innovation gears may be replaced with this. It's funny nature has always answered complex mechanical riddles. (Except for bees and dragonflies having four wings, that is a waste of energy. What was nature thinking then?) lol

[LordofKamarra]

yea, but if one gets ripped off, they still have 3 left

[ludwigious]

so it expands widthwise...

does it contract lengthwise?

[pavlovcik]

I would assume so. The fibers don't become longer whenever they are flexed.
