The Carnes Prosthetic Hand 1910

[@darksunrise957]

110 years old, costs 5000$ equivalent to today and still looks (and definitely appears to work better) than the "modern" split claw prosthetics that cost 10,000$. Unbelievable.

It would be so amazing to see a hand like this in use

[@Ulrich_dArth]

At the very start I almost thought the hand is flipping the finger at the audience

[@PanosunLtd]

Very informative. Now i can have a go at restoring mine. Thank you very much!

[@studiosandi]

So interesting thank you for sharing.❤

[@miklov]

Interesting. Thank you!

[@Bertoos8]

So so good! Thank you!

[@andrewmcinnes5447]

It's better than the hand that I currently have..

[@Urbankungfu61]

I was expecting the hand to move like an Automata. Still very beautiful.

[@ryandavis6660]

Brilliant!

[@supersoldierwerewolf8332]

Amazing creation!

[@Issyos]

Most advanced technology i had ever seen

[@BeethovenIsGrumpyCat]

How does the amputee pull the chords to get the fingers to open and close?

[@thehouseofautomata]

Either upper arm flexing or if the upper arm is absent as well then by shoulder flexing, a special harness is made bespoke for each person which could be strapped to upper arm or back/shoulder as appropriate

[@PapillonOne]

Why is the hand that's on display able to show 1 finger up and the other fingers differently flexed then the 1 that you were working on. Is the 1 that you were working on different mechanically inside then the 1 being displayed?And is the 1 being displayed have a lot more mechanisms inside the hand in order to have finger movements. Thanks for the answer.

[@thehouseofautomata]

Well spotted! the hand in the dome is a different Carnes hand where the transverse rack bar with the finger lever connections have been removed allowing all the fingers to be posed individually. It cannot work like this but I prefer it for display. The disconnected parts are stored in the hand to prevent loss.

[@CiCreePi0]

OMG Guts prosthetic arm in real life.

Imagine if people in 18th and 19th centuries would have already had fully developed electronics. We would already have robots precisely mimicking human body and Jules Verne book "The Terminator" would take place in the beginning of 20th century.

[@alexello1189]

Jules Verne did not write “the terminator”…. That’s a movie made in 1984 by James Cameron. I don’t even know where you got that information

[@remejas]

@@alexello1189 that was a prediction, that if 18th century would have electronics, Verne would be writing not about underwater journey, but Cyborgs.

[@ondrafilip4926]

it is possible to obtain a sketch of this mechanism?

[@luderickwong]

may i introduce you to Ian Davis's youtube channel? this is a machinist who has a similar problem. check out what he did, worth spending a couple of minutes to see his design.

[@momikarmakar3563]

How many price

[@Andrew-qs6ml]

If this has a good enought grip i could see it Being used to hold weapons its really weird how simple it looks the shape and the mechanism.

[@ceceliapassarella8485]

Wow

[@beelzebubcrumpethorn]

This is groovy

[@18psutton]

I actually could use this

[@KaeganThornhillTheCyberRaven]

This prosthetics hand remind me of the one the Inspector have in "Young Frankenstein". Edit: Who knows, maybe it was based off this design.

[@ariannairizarry251]

It looks so cool....like a android hand or something (my dad Mae's me watch sci fi movies)

[@ИванИванович-ы6щ6й]

I think that you are solving problem wrong way. Electric motors and gears are slow and weak. Look at the Darpa's robot Atlas. It uses electrohydraulic actuators. Electropneumatic actuators or electrohydraulic actuators are faster and stronger.

What is name of music that was played in the beginning

[@Lucius1958]

Sounds like the 'Anvil Chorus' from Il Trovatore.
