Feasibility Analysis of a Self-Reinforcing Electroadhesive Rotational Clutch

Building upon recent advancements in linear electroadhesive clutch materials and performance, this paper examines the feasibility of a self-reinforcing electroadhesive rotational clutch using a simple model. The design aims to deliver improvements in applications where performance is limited by the torque-to-power and torque-to-mass ratios offered by conventional electromagnetic or magnetorheologi...
