Eqbeck, yes follow the polymer rabbit!


Am glad to see others putting it together.
Prof. Bernd Kroeplin is HUGE for us at GTEM.

The nano material you are refer to is more accurately
electro-reactive polymers. Kroplin is an expert here. An expert in materials, in airships, and mechanics.

Why the retrofit of the S-2A? Just as you say Eqbeck, cutting edge technology.

We only get hints at it on Tao's end of it. Berlin U. seems to reveal more...

Kroplins background is one. That the Airchain (as he refers to his creation and our Air Dragon....5 segmented airbags in a harness) dating back to 1999 is now called the "New Airchain", is another piece of the puzzle. And this:

A Bionics Symposium at Stuttgart back in May, where Prof. K. revealed the New Beast (Look up Bionics).

Oh, and here is a better description of what is taking place specifically with electro-reactive polymers....as applied to airships!

Where this all goes am not sure, but it is something!

In future, EAP technology should enable blimps to «swim» through the air like a trout without any propeller. This will be achieved by fusing EAPs with the hull of the blimp, thereby allowing it to move. Experiments by Empa scientists have shown that the «bending rotation stroke», which moves the blimp forward in imitation of the tail movement of the trout, is possible as a result of this. The electrical energy required could come from solar cells on the top of the blimp’s hull. The great advantages of such a bionic drive system would be quietness and economy. «We are hoping these characteristics will open up opportunities for a niche product which could be used, for example, to observe animals or to provide surveillance at concerts or football matches», says Silvain Michel, looking ahead to the future. In order for this to become reality, as the next step, the Empa researchers will have to increase the life of the EAP actuators and improve their reliability.


BTW...Kroplin specialty is actuators....

Now check out this: Kroplin at Bionics symposium at Stuttgart in May

About the Symposium:

During the week of the EUROAVIA Symposium on Bionics in Stuttgart you will learn about the newest research and development results in the field of bionics.
You will see the technical applications in the aerospace and automotive industry and you will have the possibility to get some hands-on experience
