Hi there! A long time back, I recall reading about a material(s?) which change
from solid to liquid-like upon application of voltage. I believe this was used in
a clutch or braking application. If I remember correctly, the material was
refered to as an electro-rheological fluid. Anyone have any details about
these materials and whether they are commercially available? Please e-mail,
I'll sumarize if there's enough interest.

Thanks!
