A Mechs muscles, called myomers, are made up of bundles of microscopically thin plastic tubes filled with a contracting substance. Each tube, basically made of polyacetylene, is individually extruded in microscopically thin forms and spun into the bundle. When the acti-strandular fibers are stimulated by sufficient electrical energy, the fibers contract sharply. The process is virtually identical to the contraction of protein filaments in natural muscles, but with an electrical power source, rather than a chemical one.
