==How do you make air muscle?== | |||
See instructables [http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-air-muscles!/ here] and http://www.instructables.com/id/Pneumatic-Muscles/ there]. | |||
There are many other tutorials mostly on robotics forums (google [air|McKibben|pneumatic] muscles). | |||
===Materials=== | |||
Please put links if you find good suppliers | |||
Roughly put | |||
* Pressure regulator | |||
* Various adapters and connectors, hose clamps, etc. | |||
* Regular high pressure plastic tubing | |||
* Braided nylon mesh sleeve | |||
* Silicone or latex tubing | |||
* Hand valves (for testing) and/or three-way solenoid valves (+arduino) | |||
===Equipment=== | |||
* We will obviously need an air tank and at some point a compressor. I found that: [[Pledge:_Compressor]], it dates back to one and half year. Do someone know if the compressor was bought and if yes were it is ? | |||
