However, prolonged submersion in water would have posed a sealing challenge, especially for piston-rod seals.
Furthermore, sealing proved challenging because any water getting into the lubricated components of the mechanical drive could have created major maintenance issues.Īnother consideration was electrohydraulics technology, which is widely used for producing powerful, tightly controlled movement in these applications. They decided on movement, so the challenge was finding the best way to generate motion under seats that would be repeatedly submerged in water.Įlectromechanical actuators often are specified for motion bases in flight simulators and entertainment attractions, but the potential hazards of high-power electricity made it obvious that electromechanical was not the way to go. The designers of Yas Waterworld wanted to create an entertainment experience that had not been seen before by adding motion to a variety of other effects already bombarding the senses. Yas Waterworld, recently opened in Abu Dhabi, relies on pneumatic valves and actuators to produce synchronized motion of theater seat while frequently submerged under water.
