KATAKA linear actuator
A linear actuator based on the segmented spindle technology
Video Rating: 4 / 5
This is a SEMA linear electromagnetic actuator (EMA) performing a simulated thrust vector control sequence. The targeted application is the Crew Launch Vehicle (CLV) upper stage J-2X engine. The CLV is a component of NASA’s Project Constellation. The pan to the right shows the motor hardware and actuator mechanisms. The initial moves are small and not very noticeable, but later in the video the moves really step up. This is an example of a multi-slice SEMA motor. The steady noise you hear is the fan on the monster DC power supply that is powering the actuator.

@meJORDOFF I was asking how people thought this is fake…
@TheMrTape Nope. wiki: Segmented_spindle
theres a deep hole into the floor
Danish design

Since our previous comments got spammed out, I’ll say that I believe that you made that clear and I wish to make this clear, as well. This is a very nice design concept for an actuator. Maybe the comment won’t get spammed? Good design.
I’m interested in sex toys only when (at least) one pretty girl is using them for her pleasure. I think I made it clear now

I’m glad that you did see the movie. Great fun…the movie, that is…I mean, I imagine…I don’t mean imagine…I mean I would suppose, if you were into such toys? Speaking of great, this is a great actuateor concept and design.
It took me a while to get the quote, I’ve seen the movie but translated to another language…it was not that kind of biasing I was thinking about, but that movie was a real fun.

You’re kind of like Martin from Top Secret!, are you? Give it a whirl?
Thign works lke a 3D zipper and it’s freakin’ briliant!! Can handle 200KG’s!!
where did u get this
How is this, fake?
Ok, sorry. I misunderstood you
I said I’ve had the same idea about the similarity of this lifter to a sex toy, it was the first thing to come out of my mind seeing the video…I’ve had many good ideas but not this lifter, I was not claiming that…
FAKE!
Why didn’t you patent it then if you had the idea? -.-
It is very compact, perfect to lift and move around all those things with no room underneath for a common jack, how heavy is it and how much weight can it lift?
I had the same idea
maybe we are just biased…
This is probably made by the same people that design hi-tech sex toys. Great Danish product trough.
Do you know how much does it costs?!!
that would be a good gizmo to put under the driver seat of george bush’s pick up
That’s a very unique actuator
i just shouted kataka one day and then decided to look it up on youtube.
it looks really awesome though
The principle looks very much like the “Zuse Helix Tower” from 1992, is it the same origin?
strangely erotic
