can anyone tell me where can i find these materials on web... thankss

@Caelsus - As was said by psyclist112, its probably Nafion 117 (Perfluorosulfonic Acid) coated in Platinum or Gold. Also possible is Flemion, (which is Perfluorocarboxylic Acid). Both are classed in the Electro Active Polymer subgroup "Ionic Polymer Metal Composites" (IPMC)

Normal voltage required is between 1-3V. It is a "Wet EAP" which means it constantly needs to be either in a solvent (water etc) or when taken out and actuated "Dry", must be re-immersed occasionally

now we just need to attach this to skeleton-like structure to make robots

@Irishfreedom Just because something isn't functional doesn't mean it's useless. Any knowledge gained by experimentation is always useful. Most of our knowledge of science comes from failure rather than those "Eureka!" moments.

@Tomasso117 Based on its immersion in liquid, I'd say it's more likely some form of electroactive polymer.

it's a bi-metal blade I think....

[James1toknow]

ok where is neutral

[plmqas]

aren't it too slow ?

[IcarusThe1]

its sound of relay switching, about that backround noise i'm thoughtless.
