Best Answer

The sand flea jumping robot uses a single CO2 powered piston to propel itself into the air. Really, the only engineering feat the device has is that it can repeatedly fall from those heights without breaking. The wheels are the real interesting part on it.

How does shear strength of fine sand effect by void ratio?

Shear strength of fine sand is determined by the angularity of the sand particles, the grading of the sand. These two features governs the critical state shear strength parameters of the sand. Density, however, dictates the peak shear strength of the sand. i.e. the denser the sand, the higher the peak shear strength. But the critical shear strength remain the same. The denser the sand, the lower the void ratio. Shear strength of fine sand is determined by the angularity of the sand particles, the grading of the sand.
