The new series installment features space pirates as its main antagonists, including Vane, an alien Nikto played by Marti Matulis, who was previously seen in Season 3. The narrative also introduces ...

Abstract: The self-excited electrostatic actuator is a novel actuation scheme that utilizes the electrostatic force induced self-excited oscillation to convert the input dc signals to sustained ...

[Carl Bugeja] has been using them to create flexible actuators, though, and he’s getting an amazing 100,000,000 cycles out of them after some rigorous development. [Carl] explores all manner of ...

Vane falls somewhere in the middle for me. The game doesn’t hesitate to throw you in at the deep end, beginning with a dramatic set-piece as you take control of a young child caught in a lightning ...

These Fluid Displacement Thermal Actuators designed by [Andrew Benson] are a delightful and profoundly different approach to the Power Harvesting Challenge portion of The Hackaday Prize.
