Interfacial drives are a form of convergent mechanical actuation. They are similar if not derived from infinitesimal bearings and integrate some chemomechanical converters or elecromechanical converters here and there in their structure. They are similar to Artificial motor-muscles but do shearing instead of expanding and contracting and don't change their volume.
Applications
- Motors integrated in wheels
- railwarpdrive: Replacements for railway tracks that move the train by a warping wave in the upper track surface. the wheels can stay non-rotating. [todo: add infographic]
- many more ...
