Hello,
I am an independent developer. I am working on a project that requires the
use of inflatable plastic or rubber devices. Inflation will be by low
pressure hydraulics. The application for these devices will be as sexual
aids/enhancements; although, these will not be mere or "crass" sex-toys, and
will not be offered or sold for entertainment purposes.
I am skilled in electronics fabrication and mechanical assembly, but have no
experience in the fields of rubber or plastic molding/modeling. I have an
associate who is skilled in hydraulic systems, but I'm not sure his
experience (automotive/heavy equipemnt) will be applicable to this project.
Thus, I am looking for resources, and thus I pose a few questions.
What type of rubber or plastic material would be suitable for such an
application? The material would need to be non-toxic and able to withstand a
sustained 50% or higher duty cycle of inflation/deflation without cracking,
rupturing, or leaking. Preferably, the material should be able to be
fabricated/molded by myself. Are there any known web-sites that provide
listings of suppliers, material fabrication techniques, etc. for such
materials and applications?
Ideally, a series of "donuts" that are roughly the diameter of a penis and
could be modified/constructed to inflate/deflate in series or in tandem
would fit my needs very nicely. Are such "donuts" currently available?
These devics will be designed to somewhat accurately simulate penile and
vaginal body parts and actions, and thus the hydraulic pressures must be low
to avoid injury in the case of rupture or leakage. A pure guess off the top
of my head is in the range of 1 to 2 psi. The fluid itself needs to be
non-toxic, and I'm guessing that a variety of already available "body oils"
may work just fine, but would appreciate input or ideas on this matter.
I would very much appreciate any input in this matter. Websites, company
listings, product catalogs, etc.. I subscribe to GlobalSpec's newsletter,
and have found many resources through them for other areas of this project,
but have not found any resources for materials as described above.
TIA,
