I do not think you can name many great inventions that have been made by married men
Albert Einstein
Imagination is more important than getting knowledge.
Do you want a T-2 Terminator? Because this is exactly how you get them
A motor with no moving parts? What about all the parts clearly moving in the gif? Plenty of motors are actuated electromagnetically. Am I missing something?
Applied current is making it form some sort of liquid version of dendrites? Or actual dendrites that revert to liquid when the current is removed?
I’m nothing resembling an engineer. My best guess is it might have similar applications as ferrofluids to resist motion. Unsure what advantages it would have in that area though. Maybe more precise or rapid control over response?
Edit: Also, iridium or indium? [GalInStan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galinstan) is a well known eutectic. I’m not going down a rabbit hole to look up gallium-iridium-tin alloys.
#T-1000 Baby!
You mean indium instead of iridium, right?
Itt: people without knowledge of complex vs simple machines.
I can see it moving
Do you want terminators? Because that’s how you get terminators…
I wonder how much is left from roswell?
Funny how it moves just like slime mould.
The T-1000 will definnely try to reahcwirah you there.
