The robot with the legs that can be extended or packed into compartments (shown at 2:34 in the video) is really cool!
Back when i was 16 I was hoping I’d see the day when the triple zipper became a reality. I never gave up hope. Here we are today. At long last. Take my money.
My and my best bro’s pants will never be unteathered. Just like our brohood.
Coolest thing ever
I like the actuators. Industry already uses zipper drives for some applications but the ability for actuator to have a preset curve could be pretty useful.
A compact’ish long travel, mostly strong at pulling, linear actuator could probably find some use.
Super cool watch the video
The practical usess were pretty mind-blowing.
They were neat to loook at but not very impressive in practical terms. So you can take 3 semi-floppy coiled things and turn them into one semi-rigid thing. But only one of them can be attached to something, or the actuator won’t be able to move.
The tent application is the closest one to something practical and the tent was not very rigid, nor was there any real advantage to it over conventional methods.
🤷♂️
True, but just to use them for things like adjustable legs - even as just a proof-of-concept was really cool.
Yes that was involved and they executed it well.
This could only happen in the gravity of a flat earth. /s
Do we need this?
If only there was an article that told us what this would help with.
One with a video showing a bunch of neat things you can do with it you say !
It’s a large penis thing. If you know, you know.
And vagina.
I am a feminist.
You don’t even need regular zippers.
It’s perfectly possible to survive without them.Found Phil Swift’s account.
it’s so you can get both balls caught in the zipper at the same time! I’m not sure though as I didn’t read the article
Missed opportunity to spell smile
Like how the tent still has a regular zipper to get in and out for the practicality that you will piss yourself if you have to take time to unzip à tent flap.
Jiaji also notes that some applications remain unexplored, like space exploration, wherein Y-zipper’s tentacles could be built into a spacecraft to grab nearby rock samples.
WTF am I even reading?
