Electrochemical muscle


There is a video on youtube telling you how to synthesise muscles that can be made to contract electronicly. I am wondering if there are other methods of making synthetic muscles than their procedure. Carbon nanotube muscles work similarly - a tube of conductive material filled with parafin wax. I beleive if one were to use graphene instead of gold, this might work better. A better electrolite would be sulfuric acid, but I think (I might be wrong as graphite is highly unreactive and graphene bonds are rediculously strong) you would need to use that in a vaccum to prevent the graphene from oxidizing.
