DIAMOND-SHAPED ACTUATOR IN NON-DRIVEN POSITION This photo shows our test model of the diamond-shaped actuator. The four white walls (1) are hinged at the upper connection (2) and the two outside connections (3). The lower white walls are hinged separately and anchored at the lower mid point (4). The walls are enclosed by two large pieces of plexiglass (5) allowing the four walls to move inside. The coloured diaphragm (6) contains the fluid, preventing leaks. DIAMOND-SHAPED ACTUATOR IN DRIVEN POSITION This photo shows the diamond-shaped actuator driven. The force created by the pressure applied to the four moving walls is totaled at the upper hinge. 13.247
