Compliant mechanisms have lots of advantages over traditional devices. SimpliSafe is awesome security. It’s really effective, easy to use, and the price is great. Check out SimpliSafe here: https://simplisafe.com/veritasium
I visited the Compliant Mechanisms Research group at Brigham Young University and spoke to Professor Larry Howell:
https://www.compliantmechanisms.byu.edu
At the above link, you can download 3D-print files to make some of the objects in the video, plus learn more about compliant mechanisms.
What I learned about compliant mechanisms I summarize in the 8 P’s of compliant mechanisms:
1. Part count (reduced by having flexible parts instead of springs, hinges)
2. Productions processes (many, new, different enabled by compliant designs)
3. Price (reduced by fewer parts and different production processes)
4. Precise Motion (no backlash, less wear, friction)
5. Performance (no outgassing, doesn’t require lubricant)
6. Proportions (reduced through different production processes)
7. Portability (lightweight due to simpler, reduced part count designs)
8. Predictability (devices are reliable over a long period of time)

Metal fatigue
po smart man seen ghetto bird
So that's how they land the Falcon……………………ahh ooo
Bendy wizzard
so my flip phone is better than the latest advanced smartphones
Just drop a nuke on the compliant joint then we won't have to listen to bs anymore, about how some plastic piece of crap can stop a nuke, my ears are hurting already

I guess because the movement can be like shock absorber, and the stuffer the materials the more likely they would received damage when hit or in action
Wierd flex but ok…
i would like a nuclear weapon stopper keyboard switch.
If we raid Area 51, we can know if they army use that compliant mechanism or not
Lol wast of time
So… a sear?
THE PHYSICS girl will never love you back
Noone's gonna mention the dirty thumbnail? ok
Bite my shinny metal ass!!
"it goes behind the fence. we don't know what happens…" …….. that dude definitely knows. nice deflection.
LOL @ the bendy parts! ha!
i bet those boing airplanes are REALLY "compliant"
Im here because of AvE.
The fatigue limit of most materials is the reason bending components are avoided. The bending region becomes a stress pit.
But maybe with modern materials, we might overcome the problem.
Titanium magic
Me: WWHAA????!!!………. WHHAAAA?????????
That last scene. I was expecting something
Prof: "If I tell you, I'll have to kill you"
Veritasaium: "Haha, nice one"
Prof *super serious face*: "I'm not joking"
I dont trust this
I can see this having applications in robotics for joints. I've always wondered how we might replicate the kind of engineering happening in insects and plants and feel this gets us quite a bit closer!
What if a compliant device were stored in its "sprung" for a sufficiently long time to loose their Shape Memory. There are warnings on Sliding Weight Scales in your doctor's office as well a Torque Wrench in your mechanic's garage that say something like "Do not store in the loaded position". Would I be wrong to simplify the flexible portions in compliant devices as springs and subject to these spring-like behaviors?

Don't @ me
This is actually soooooo interesting. Especially the microscopic shots. Mind. Blown.
This is literally the most mind blowing video I have ever seen. AAAAA
why machines that blend are better
Sometimes I realize there are so much things I can learn that I wonder if I should just give it all up and go to a remote village, with no electricity. Thanks for sharing
What is the meaning of "compliant" in this context?
I never knew you can 3d print titanium.
Damn.
“Friend” hahah
4:12 Umm… thinks. Final answer: Down and left!
EDIT: Huh. It doesn't move. That's quite cool…

This is amazing
Imagine a car using compliant mechanisms. Jesus you would require any lubricants and it would last for so long
Tell that to Apple’s “Butterfly Switch” technology
& these guys could give the folks at BMW, Mercedes, & VW some lessons on simple yet robust machine parts
