Self-sustained motion has proven to be an effective approach for tackling complex problems and addressing various challenges across a variety of disciplines, such as bionics, soft robotics, and engineering, owing to its efficiency, resourcefulness, and flexibility. However, traditional single-mode self-sustained systems are often limited to specific tasks and lack adaptability to environmental changes. This study addresses these limitations by developing a multi-modal self-sustained system using circular silicone oil paper. It demonstrates that hot steam drives the silicone oil paper to achieve self-sustained motion, thereby constructing a self-sustained system. In this system, the circular silicone oil paper placed on a steam-supported surface continuously oscillates and tumbles under the influence of hot steam. The study analyzes the mechanisms behind these motions and establishes a geometric model for the self-sustained behavior of the circular silicone oil paper. Computational programming examines how the oscillation frequency and amplitude of the circular silicone oil paper relate to steam temperature and structural dimensions. Critical conditions for motion pattern transitions and phase diagrams are identified, with experimental studies validating theoretical predictions. The research findings reveal that by adjusting structural size and steam temperature, the circular silicone oil paper can freely switch among three modes: stationary, self-sustained oscillation, and self-sustained tumbling. The frequency and amplitude of self-sustained oscillation increase with higher steam temperatures, larger outer diameters, and an increased inner-to-outer diameter ratio. The multi-modal self-sustained system developed in this study can better adapt to diverse tasks and environments while reducing costs and energy consumption. Therefore, it holds significant potential for applications in fields such as autonomous robotics, medical devices, waste heat recovery, and thermo-mechanical conversion.
