2. Suction cup - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suction_cup

   A transparent suction cup The pressure on a suction cup, as exerted by collisions of gas molecules, holds the suction cup in contact with the surface. One cup suction lifter. A suction cup, also known as a sucker, is a device or object that uses the negative fluid pressure of air or water to adhere to nonporous surfaces, creating a partial ...

4. Sucker (zoology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucker_(zoology)

   A sucker in zoology is a specialised attachment organ of an animal. It acts as an adhesion device in parasitic worms, several flatworms, cephalopods, certain fishes, amphibians, and bats. It is a muscular structure for suction on a host or substrate.

5. Synthetic setae - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_setae

   The hypothesis that the toe pads act as suction cups was dispelled in 1934 by experiments carried out in a vacuum in which the gecko's toes remained stuck. Similarly, the electrostatic hypothesis was refuted by an experiment showing that geckos could still adhere even when the build-up of electrostatic charge was impossible (such as on a metal ...

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 ...

7. 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 ...
