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

One step closer to automail.

[QUOTE=OHNOES;43282120]Pfff, just punch the debt collectors in the face with your new robot muscles! Problem solved.[/QUOTE] Punch their heads off with your new robot muscles :v:

ROBOARMS WHEN

[QUOTE=EpicRandomnes;43280759]No, you won't, because you'll probably be knee-deep in debt. 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.[/QUOTE] I'm just baffled at how someone could fuck up this hard

How "thermally driven" are we talking here? That seems like it could complicate things.

After an incredible scientific discovery, the practical men and women of Facepunch discuss how to best apply it to shitting and masturbation.

[QUOTE=Nick Lomax;43282206]So much stuff you can do with these muscles. Replacing your tongue (which is already the strongest muscle) and make it 1000 stronger.

[QUOTE=Bradyns;43281926]...just wow. IIRC you're a young earth creationist.. So, why should we be taking biology lessons from you?[/QUOTE] does your brain even lift? [editline]23rd December 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=EpicRandomnes;43281428]While this isn't exactly much of an insult (nor is it really intended to be) calling the brain fat is like calling a computer a pile of plastic and metal.

This would definitely be great for prosthetics, although it would definitely require stronger bones to support it. Plus it'd need to be coded into cells so that it's registered as a part of your genes and not a foreign object that the body tries to reject.

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;43281914]Can somebody explain to me how are we going to use thermal expansion/contraction in a meaningful mechanical matter? You would need to repeatedly heat and cool the material to achieve the coveted movement and it also means that the temperature of the muscle will directly influence, impede, or even entirely disable function, which could easily be a problem since everything what performs work also produces heat on it's own so you will always need additional cooling. I just have a hard time imagining practical implementation .[/QUOTE] This is the first thing I thought of after reading the OP. This is a big problem. A muscle activated by electricity would be great; but a muscle activated by heat would be damn near useless.

Oh man I'm so gonna tailor make a cyborg body by 2030 fuck yeah gonna transplant my brain into a robit and shit'll be so cash.

You can break a glass of water pretty easy, but you don't do that every time. You probably would be able to "press" harder than you can "press" right now, and that's it.

[QUOTE=OHNOES;43282120]Pfff, just punch the debt collectors in the face with your new robot muscles! Problem solved.[/QUOTE] Then they will come back, rip your new arms off and leave you dead in the now post-apocalyptic dark and edgy Douche Ex world. Yeah.

I just have a hard time imagining practical implementation .[/QUOTE] Which is why I see Carbon Nanotube muscles being more practical due to their isolated thermal conductivities. Meaning, carbon nanotubes only contract when they are heated axially and doesn't react when heated radially, this is due to the long fiberious structure that is inherent to CNTs. Vanadium Oxide doesn't have this thermo-structal distinction (To my knowledge), thus is more prone to uncontrollable external influence. Plus Carbon is a hell of alot more common/available than Vandium and five times as strong [URL="http://www.technologyreview.com/view/507576/nanotube-muscles-bench-50000-times-their-own-weight/"]Source[/URL] & [URL="http://www.utdallas.edu/news/2012/11/15-20871_Wax-Filled-Nanotech-Yarn-Behaves-Like-Super-Strong_article-wide.html"]Sub-Source[/URL]

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;43283338]Then they will come back, rip your new arms off and leave you dead in the now post-apocalyptic dark and edgy Douche Ex world. Yeah.[/QUOTE] but before they can rip your arms off, you rip their arms off!!

[QUOTE=Bradyns;43281926]...just wow. IIRC you're a young earth creationist..

He's literally asking me to respect others' chosen beliefs about biology, no matter how unsubstantiated.

[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;43283586']but before they can rip your arms off, you rip their arms off!![/QUOTE] then an entire organization of highly sophisticated arm-ripping debt collectors are after you, and then you became a real-life video game.

[QUOTE=TheTalon;43281141]Let me offer another explanation as to why you can't do it. You'll be able to lift more than your bones can support and break them! Imagine telling the doctor how you broke your arm Well my car got stuck in the ditch, so I just lifted it up and heard a crack[/QUOTE] I remember hearing about the backstory on the development of the Spartan program in Halo apparently their first spartans were normal humans with the enhancements, and they were so bad at handling their newfound strength they were literally just killing themselves by accident all the time. I recall one guy accidentally broke an arm or a leg or something from moving/stretching too fast, then recoiled in pain and continued injuring himself in the convulsions, essentially crushing himself into a pulpy ball. Another guy bashed his skull in when he tried to salute

[QUOTE=Rapist;43281182]Or if you had the muscle implanted in your dick: Well doc I was umm masturbating and i uhh my dick ripped my arm off.[/QUOTE] [video=youtube;_hxtd1PkK2s]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hxtd1PkK2s[/video] It would make this man a thousand times more terrifying.

If the Ceph suddenly show up we know who to blame.

This sounds very cool, not saying this just because I will have trouble with my muscle tissue in the future due to a genetic disease(that might have a cure in the future though) because it will lose strength so fast that I'd have to use a wheelchair.

[QUOTE=EpicRandomnes;43281347]I never called it a muscle, I said some people considered it one. Have a bit of respect for the part of the body that controls everything. The brain is more important than any other part of the body, it might need a heart and lungs etc but the heart and lungs need the directions from the brain in the first place. Oh, and you really I think I care what many people here think of me? For the record, yes, I hate the name "epicrandomnes". Yes, even the guy who chose it hates it. Think of it as sarcasm.[/QUOTE] Because I don't think anyone said this yet and I'm not done calling you a weenie, you apparently missed something in Anatomy: the heart does not need directions from the brain to beat. It is an involuntary muscle. Incidentally, this is why severed hearts keep beating for several seconds when removed, usually by Aztec rituals. Or by cyborgs whose muscles are 1000 TIMES STRONGER.

Does this mean i can order a Raiden body online and go around listening to "rules of nature" and slicing up watermelons? In bullet time?

Does this mean like we'll get into fights with muggers where we're throwing eachother like 50 feet through the air with a single punch?
