Resistance-free with superconductivity

Superconductors are metals, metal compounds or ceramic

materials that have a very special characteristic: their electrical

resistance suddenly drops to zero when cooled to below a

certain temperature. Once this transition temperature has been

reached, mutually repulsing electrons bind to form what are

called Cooper pairs.

This cancels out the mechanism of electrical resistance. When a

voltage is applied, the pairs conduct the electrical current without

any resistance and without losses. Once the electrical current

is put into motion, it flows uninterrupted in a closed circuit. The

magnetic fields that are generated in this way deliver a very high

energy yield.

The LearningGripper from Festo looks like an abstract form of

the human hand. The four fingers of the gripper are driven by

12 pneumatic bellows actuators with low-level pressurisation.

Thanks to the process of machine learning, it is able to teach itself

to carry out complex actions such as, for example, gripping and

positioning an object.

The WaveHandling system from Festo is a pneumatic conveyor for

the targeted transportation and simultaneous sorting of objects.

It consists of numerous bellows modules that deform the surface,

creating a wave motion that transports the objects in a targeted

manner.

The mechanics of dragonfly flight are unique: dragonflies can man

oeuvre in all directions, glide without having to beat their wings

and hover in the air. Their ability to move their two pairs of wings

independently enables them to slow down and turn abruptly, to

accelerate swiftly and even to fly backwards.
