Abstract:
A buckling loop rotary motor is disclosed that has a stator, an activatable buckling loop and a rotor. The buckling loop is made of a springy, base band and an activatable active band. An applied force actuates a portion of loop, causing a localized change of curvature. When propagated along the buckling loop, the changed curvature causes rotation of the rotor. In a bi-metallic embodiment, the thermally actuated active band expands by at least 1% more than the base band, effect a localized change of curvature that drives the rotor. Thermal activation is by heating or cooling, or a combination thereof. In an electroactive polymer (EAP), the active acrylic or silicone EAP is actuated by an electrostatic charge. The change in thickness, and therefore, length, of the active EAP relative to the inactive, base material causes a local change of curvature of the loop that drives rotation of the rotor.

Claim (Index 22):
The rotary motor of  claim 21 , wherein, said first, active material comprises an electroactive material, and said rollers comprise one or more electrical contacts
