Bioinspired Robojelly fuelled by hydrogen

American researchers have created a robotic jellyfish, named Robojelly, which not only exhibits characteristics ideal to use in underwater search and rescue operations, but could, theoretically at least, never run out of energy thanks to it being fuelled by hydrogen.

The video, provided by researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas and Virginia Tech, shows the potential of the robot as it is powered by electricity.

Maybe you should stop using clothes, fork, or Youtube... so unnatural, unsupposed to be kind of stuff. Or ask yourself why do we have minds capable of this in the first place, who gave them to us...

Is anyone else reminded of the jellyfish baddies from the underwater portion of area 1 in the original Blaster Master game?

Oh yes, the "inquisitive" minds of the churches! How much they supported new discoveries! They "were all flames" for everything that made them change their worldview.

I see your not very bright there kiddo, "operating within religious institutions" means they were part of it, and mostly believers. Yes there was some that ended up questioning the existence of God but the point is religious institutions have been known throughout history to support scientific contributions and discoveries that "we enjoy today"

Learn how to interpret what is being said instead of being quick at the mouth as if you have something to prove, which in this case you don't
