Entwicklung einer eigenständigen, nachgiebigen autonomen Maschine mit Endoperoxiden als Energiequelle
Mein Projekt zielt darauf ab, eine autonome Maschine zu entwickeln, die Endoperoxide als Energiequelle verwendet und sich dadurch eigenständig bewegen kann. Durch die Freisetzung von Sauerstoff aus den Endoperoxiden wird die Maschine ihre Form verändern und so mit ihrer Umwelt interagieren. Das letztendliche Ziel besteht darin, ein kleinskaliges autonomes Endoperoxid-Produktionssystem in die Maschine zu integrieren, indem andere Clusterprojekte einbezogen werden.
