Add to that a similar internal weighted mechanism like the toy (and production versions of BB-8 employed) and you have a plucky little ball that can traverse any surface. He could use sound to create pressure waves that either gives him traction or help him glide. The simplest explanation would be that he’s made from a material similar to gecko tape (this is the industrial version of how gecko’s feet work.) You could have a version of this material that either lost or gained its traction through electrical current.īut let’s get even more creative: Imagine that his ball body is lined on the inside with ultrasonic speakers. Just because BB-8 looks like he’s made from a smooth material doesn’t mean that he actually is or that he has to behave that way. If you put a blaster (I’ll explain how those could work in another post) to my head and asked me to tell you how to make a BB-8 that can go across sand and traverser different environments, I’d tell you to start with a material that has variable friction. In the meantime, I’m happy to offer a couple theories… This was the criticism of one well-known planetarium director (as well as a NASA scientist! When did these guys stop dreaming?).Īlthough, technically, we should wait to hear what a tribologist says, that’s someone who studies friction. Wouldn’t his smooth metal surface slip on the sandy slopes of Jakku? I’m not talking about the toy version we have on earth. No politics or protests This simply isn't the place.So we’re all asking the burning question of how does BB-8 work? Repeated occurrences are grounds for a ban.
