Overview

• The engine can generate up to 580 Newtons of force without an external power source.
• It uses a battery-powered high-torque motor to pump oil, mimicking muscle flexing and relaxing.
• The design addresses limitations of previous fluid engines that required large external compressors.
• Proof-of-concept tests show the engine's high efficiency and low weight.
• The research was supported by the National Science Foundation and other institutions.
