Traditional Frangible Nut

It’s become a tradition to separate parts with explosion!

Explosion comes with ‘’Space Debris’’ and high shockwave.

All those problems will be lost in next slide…

When the topic comes to ‘’space debris’’ NASA be like ☺

Futuristic, modern and Tesla’s way! (By the way, no explosion at all ☺)

We solved the space debris and propulsion problem caused by explosion.

We developed the classic nut with a modern touch by using electromagnets.

The future will not be depend on mechanical solutions, but magnetic ones. This is the way!

Strength of Tesla’s Nuts

We created an ‘electromagnet’ by passing an electric current through the coil.

The separation process will be controlled by microcontroller that changes the polarization of the coils which will cause pushing action.

By the way, we tested with 4000 Newtons ;)

The materials have been selected depend on their special values and test results. (Titanium, ductile iron et cetera)

Rotate, Explode, Collapse!

Conclusion, Tesla’s Nuts is a model of a modern nut based on a electromagnetism. It can be used for both pushing and pulling action. Also, it has been designed for reusability.

Tesla’s Nuts is designed by MOONKEY!
