One of the ideas that was developed at MIT in a workshop was, imagine this pipe, and you've got valves, solenoid valves, taps, opening and closing. You create like a water curtain with pixels made of water. If those pixels fall, you can write on it: you can show patterns, images, text.

A solenoid is often used to control something by using magnetism generated by electric current.

Magnetic Device

Solenoids demonstrate electromagnetism by turning electrical power into a magnetic field.

Electromagnetism

The term 'solenoid' is technical and most common in discussions related to physics and mechanics.

Technical Context

Solenoids convert electrical energy into linear or rotary mechanical motion.

Mechanical Movement

Solenoids are commonly found in automated systems to start or stop mechanical processes.

Automation Component

Solenoid actuators provide precise control over applying, limiting, or stopping movement.
