2. Self-sealing suction cup - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-sealing_suction_cup

   The self-sealing suction cup is a suction cup that exerts a suction force only when it is in physical contact with an object. Unlike most other suction cups, it does not exert any suction force when it is not in contact with an object. [1] Its grasping ability is achieved entirely through passive means without the use of sensors, valves, or ...

3. Suction cup - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suction_cup

   The working face of the suction cup is made of elastic, flexible material and has a curved surface. [3] When the center of the suction cup is pressed against a flat, non-porous surface, the volume of the space between the suction cup and the flat surface is reduced, which causes the air or water between the cup and the surface to be expelled past the rim of the circular cup.

   The result of this "gecko tape" was tested by attaching a sample to the hand of a 15 cm high plastic Spider-Man figure weighing 40 g, which enabled it to stick to a glass ceiling, as is shown in the figure. The tape, which had a contact area of around 0.5 cm 2 with the glass, was able to carry a load of more than 100 g. However, the adhesion ...

5. Suction caisson - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suction_caisson

   Suction caissons (also referred to as suction anchors, suction piles or suction buckets) are a form of fixed platform anchor in the form of an open bottomed tube embedded in the sediment and sealed at the top while in use so that lifting forces generate a pressure differential that holds the caisson down.

6. Nano-suction technology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nano-suction_technology

   Nano-suction is a technology that uses vacuum, negative fluid pressure and millions of nano-sized suction cups to securely adhere any object to a flat non-porous surface. When the nano-suction object is pressed against a flat surface, millions of miniature suction cups create a large vacuum, generating a strong suction force that can hold a ...
