  • it's been a bit since my last video and I've had a little bit of design block on my current finger designs, so I decided to work on a "popular request" prosthetic build. A mix of the chainsaw prosthetic from Ash vs. Evil Dead and something that should be in Cyberpunk 2077. what I've designed and fabricated is a forearm mounted, retractable bar, battery powered, chainsaw sword. I hope you enjoy everything that went into this build. Please like and subscribe so I can get a little closer to earning a gold play button. Please leave a comment in the comment section and let me know what you think.

    *SINCE YOU READ ALL YOUR COMMENTS!*
    I lost my left foot in Afghanistan in 2014. I was 19, depressed and alone after my fiancé broke us off. (In that time I worked on making a new foot for myself....)
    I cant say you are currently my only inspiration, but seeing your struggle and achievement has defiantly helped in my recovery. I'm a few years older now and just finished my engineering degree! :D I took your platform of saw chain joint/ligament actions and have made 3 prototypes so far, for at or below the knee amputees (like myself). I have had very little luck with designs for myself or any adult. However, My design was picked up and has been used for children's prosthetics! Currently, 4 children in my general area have use of a prosthetic, chain driven and that help them walk.
    I took a great deal of ideas from this video, even if it took me a 10 months. I'm proud to say this helped me make a tremendous impact in my community, so thank you for the ideas.
    1000% credit has been given to you in all my patent work and scheming with the designers.
    I know its late, but I hope you end up seeing this! Much love!

      @@tookitogo Thank you! I've spent these last several months working on a double chain drive, multi chain and a solid stable collapsible chain drive....I have yet to find a fit in the Adult prosthetic design (unfortunately). However myself and my one hire on engineering student. Are making markable strides for the few children in my area! It's a small impact I understand, but I'm more than fulfilled with their growth and comfort in using these custom products. Children grow and require a new prosthetic every few months. (These are paid for by my local community)....Im hoping in learning their growth and changes in need, I can focus in on a solid idea to help full grown adults like myself.
      But thank you for the kind comment. I hope to report back in a short time with a great break through (and the video evidence recorded thus far to prove my idea!!)

    "if i were to make it to density levels considered to be Osteoporosis, it would be a massive improvement"
    As someone born with Osteopetrosis, not Osteoporosis i felt that, its pretty much the reverse of Osteoporosis, where instead of decreased bone density, it is increased, leading to very brittle bones.
    It´s "broke my hip stepping off the bus a little too hard, bang, 2.5 years in a wheelchair at 15" kind of brittle
    no limb-loss tough, but i am looking forward to "disintegrating mandible" on the symptoms list, sounds fun! if i ever need a prosthetic lower jaw i know who to reach out to, that's for sure!

    • @martylawson1638
      @martylawson1638 3 года назад +13

      Talking to the military is a pretty good idea actually. This is a significant problem for the military and they have groups dedicated to quick action engineering, and they might see how practical this hand is NOW vs a lot of the wizz-bang solutions in the pipe-line. Afik they also have they're own parallel approval track to the FDA so you may be able to get them in the field with less onerous testing. (not necessarily easier though...)
      @Punished Aniquin: lots of FDA rules are "written in blood" after something went wrong and killed/maimed someone. So not intended to lock out the little guy, but might have that effect. That said, I could easily see them lumping prosthetics in with far more invasive "medical devices" which would dramatically balloon the testing and documentation requirements. Thankfully, Ian's already doing the "hard" part of the development that requires the right motivation, talent, testing, and time. The rest of the process is time-consuming and expensive, but relatively "mechanical".

    What an absolute trooper. I know very few people who could have such an incredible attitude about so many trials and challenges and be able to turn it into something as awe-inspiring and remarkable as this. You, sir, are an inspiration

      I can only agree totally.
      To have a hand and progressively lose one finger after another would cause most to just give up in self pity.
      His prosthetic hand is as incredible as is his story.
      This guy has been dealt a bad set of cards, and is turning it into a positive. You are an incredible role model and inspiration to us all.

    I lost parts of all the fingers on my left hand. I tell people who ask that I used to bite my nails.
    Amazing engineering and fab work on the prothesis.
