• Unchained innovation
  recumbent models. Hydraulic motors powered some bikes, others relied on hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders for motive force. "Low-speed efficiency has always been an issue with hydraulics, and the idea of a hydraulically powered bicycle is a great way to illustrate some of the challenges this presents...

• Shake hands with a robot
  with grippers whose basic design has changed little over three decades. Vacuum cups and electro-magnets are also used for handling such items as automobile wind-shields and body panels. Payload sizes range from a few grams for tiny pneumatic grippers to over 100 kg for massive hydraulic models. Both types...

• Building a better adhesive bond
  of solvents, hydraulic fluids, oils, fuels, and even water. For example, some epoxies are tailored to withstand temperatures to 350°F, while others can be immersed in saltwater, handling chemicals, and other liquids without hurting bond performance. These characteristics allow wide use of epoxy adhesives...

  include aluminum cylinder heads, oil sump, and intake manifold to cut weight; sequential fuel injection; forged-steel connecting rods; and roller-type hydraulic lifters and rocker arms. All-speed traction control using both powertrain and brake systems to control wheel spin is standard on the GT...
