Pistons are ubiquitous devices used for fluid‐mechanical energy conversion. However, despite this ubiquity and centuries of development, the forces and motions produced by conventional rigid pistons are limited by their design. The use of flexible materials and structures opens a door to the design of a piston with unconventional features. In this study, an architecture for pistons that utilizes a...
In article number 1901419, Shuguang Li, Daniela Rus, Robert J. Wood, and co‐workers propose a new concept for a tension‐driven piston. It utilizes a combination of flexible membrane materials and compressible rigid structures. In contrast to conventional pistons, the pressure‐induced tension forces in the membrane play a primary role in the tension pistons. The tension piston can outperform conventional...
