Talk about small

Not sure some of this could be used in our hobby, but it is fascinating. 1.7gram servos are not new, however the flat super tiny “servo” is. It looks like it is more of a bang-bang type or all the way one direction or the other. https://www.minimumrc.com

They look like magnetic actuators to me, insufficient torque to pull the skin off a rice pudding, not much use for subs (and barely adequate for aeroplanes).

no need to make them waterproof.

If you modulated the transmitted signal to a variable pulse length (much slower than servo signal pulse rate) -- ala 'galloping ghost' r/c system of pre-historic times -- these little actuators will produce a chatter whose direction and net amount of motion is proportional to stick position. The mini-mini r/c flyers use these things in this fashion.

A beautiful presentation of the galloping ghost operating system. That was a big step ahead for me as I was weaned on carrier-only, rubber driven escapement, rudder only r/c control flying when I first got into the game. Thanks for the find on that document Andy. That was super-science stuff in my day.
