Henshaw, an interesting product.

From the Department of Demented Designs

How about an Electric Muscle?
  1. Iron filings in a liquid are inserted into a mold.
  2. A large magnetic field aligns the filings.
  3. The liquid cures into a gel.
  4. This gel is then located between the poles of an electromagnet.
  5. Applying power to the electromagnet will realign the filings and thereby change the shape of the gel.
