There are several models that emulate the mechanical behavior of biological tissues. Its automation, new materials and manufacturing techniques will enable its use in the near future. This research is based on the use of compressed air in pneumatic muscles that actuate the phalanges. The research is important because it proposes a system that adapts to the needs and economic accessibility or people with limited resources. The problem to solve is that it meets certain standards such as: stable grip and pressure and that it adapts to irregularly shaped objects with more natural movements. The principle of communicating vessels and the force exerted by a fluid on the walls of the container that is used. Consequently, the fluid exerts pressure in all directions. The prosthesis with the design of the Flexy Hand 2 is manufactured by inserting pneumatic muscles to each of the fingers connecting them by means of nylon ropes that are attached to the homemade pneumatic muscles connected to a common manifold, regulating the pressure by means of a valve and a degree of freedom. As a result of the above, it can be concluded that the prototype worked favorably.
Pneumatic traction systems have already been used since Denise Papín, who apparently already had the idea of using compressed air in cars. Currently in Uruguay and India with Armando Miguel Regusci Campomar and the French inventor Guy Negre respectively, they make use of this energy and mention high efficiency in their compressed air motors. In this vein and in order to continue research with this energy, explore non-polluting alternative energies and their efficiency, a Pneumatic-Mechanical traction system is proposed in this research, in a mobile of our own manufacture. The system works under two principles of elementary physics; Pascal's pneumatic energy and Tesla's alternating pneumatic energy that is, alternating pneumatic energy, their efficiency is tested with the energy of the compressed air tank and the displacement energy of the mobile
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
