Makers, developers and Arduino enthusiasts may be interested in a new linear actuator and electromagnetic locks driver created by serial Kickstarter entrepreneur and electronics designer Patrick ...

Most electromagnetic actuators are rotating motors, or some variation on the theme, like servos. However, it’s possible to do linear actuation with electomagnetics, too. [Adrian Perez] demonstrates ...

However, not all innovations are equal, and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

We love electromagnetic displays: take the modern look of a digital readout, combine with the low-tech coil mechanism that you theoretically could create yourself, add a dash of random clacking sounds ...

Fig. 2 Shoulder actuation testbed for exoskeleton: (a) Motion range of the shoulder joint mechanism. (b) Structure of the integrated pneumatic–electromagnetic linear actuator, a type of fusion hybrid ...
