 In this page you will find alternatives to applying the vacuum pressure in the Laminar Jamming Structure continuously, instead using portable or simpler ways to create the necessary pressure for jamming. Nevertheless, consider that most alternative devices, as of now, cannot adjust the pressure applied and can lead to performances that are inferior to when the vacuum pressure is applied through industrial vacuum pumps.
