New Robotic Muscle Is 1,000 times stronger than normal Muscle Tissue - Polidicks

SOURCE: [url]http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/130772-New-Robotic-Muscle-Is-1-000x-Normal-Human-Strength[/url] [QUOTE]The muscle uses a revolutionary material that fluidly changes its properties. Scientists at US Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have created a new kind of robotic muscle, that they claim is up to 1,000 times stronger than normal human muscle. The muscle uses vanadium dioxide, a revolutionary material that fluidly changes its change shape and structure whenever differing amounts of heat are applied to it. If this guy was the first thing to pop into your head after reading that last sentence... you're not alone. "Robot muscle 1,000x human strength" sounds like something straight out of a Terminator movie, but this is a very real thing that could have a far-reaching impact on the field of robotics. When made into a robotic muscle, scientists believe that the new material will be able to hurl objects 50 times it weight and five times its length in as little as 60 milliseconds. Junqiao Wu, Team Leader on the project, describes it as a "micro-bimorph dual coil that functions as a powerful torsional muscle, driven thermally or electro-thermally by the phase transition of vanadium dioxide." "Miniaturizing rotary motors is important for integrated micro-systems and has been intensively pursued over the past decades," Wu explained. "The power density of our micro-muscle in combination with its multi-functionality distinguishes it from all current macro- or micro-torsional actuators/motors." This kind of breakthrough opens doors for scientific progress being made almost exponentially, as these new robotic micro-muscles could potentially be used to build even smaller and more complex organisms. Now that we have robot muscles and artificial hearts, how long will it be before I can go full Deus Ex-style cyborg? Source: RT (thanks Asclepion!)

I will replace all the normal muscle in my body with this.

Not to mention "all the normal muscle" is a very broad term, that's quite a lot of your body you'll be replacing. And if you consider the brain a muscle like some people, well, let me put it this way: You're dead if you do this. Literally.

It is a ball of fat and other types of tissue with a complex vascular system that is rolling around in an extremely hard case. It can't be called a muscle because it doesn't contain muscle tissue.

[QUOTE=EpicRandomnes;43280779]I wasn't talking to you.[/QUOTE] so im not your son anymore? are you leaving me too LIKE YOU LEFT DAD? Edit: the fuck am I doing

I'd love to see what these things can eventually do. [QUOTE=EpicRandomnes;43280759]No, you won't, because you'll probably be knee-deep in debt.

[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;43280739]I will replace all the normal muscle in my body with this.[/QUOTE] Well except there is only so much your skeletal structure can withstand, so even though your muscle mass can lift/pull/push something that heavy, you actually cannot fully use its total effectiveness as your bones would break under pressure and thus rendering your muscles useless as its more or less a giant wheel and pulley system, we were just not built for that.

It is sort of rounded. If you want me to be more specific (and wordy), it is a bilaterally-shaped complex structured organ made of fatty tissues, neural connections, and a intricate vascular system with multiple specialized regions and parts. It's still not a muscle.

Soon we'll be building Jaegers in real life!

Well doc I was umm masturbating and i uhh kinda ripped off my dick.
