would it be possible to electrically charge a grid(the structural system) so that each cross member [tesselated] could move either up/down a certain degree? a microprocessor could be placed in the joints to simply tell the peice to move up/down and what degree.
ive been trying to think of possible ways that the structure, along with the skins, would be able to flex…
how do you make a flat rectalinear system that bubbles to form voids on command…?
what type of materials would be able to expand with the structure, breathe, and yet keep out rainwater? (something like an elastic pool cover)
this is what i’ve been thinking of outside of nanotechnology… if this were using nanobots it would do all of the above and more. but how would a structure made of nano bots hold up against wind?
