ELEGON_prototype_07_postings
use TWO FLEXINOL on one panel to amplify movement
The new prototype applied one more flexinol in the same panel. So that when we can hang the whole structure onto the roof, the space movement created at the human level will be amplified .
The diagram below shows our final application, which is a movable wall that creates a private space outside Room 300 Avery Hall. So essentially, a sensor would detect a person's movement, while he enters the space and triggers the wall to open, letting the person into the space. The second group of sensors detect the movement of the person after he sits down, triggers the wall to close, and creates an intimate space.
