Oyogu | Swimming Arm Prosthetic Concept

Where I live it’s been a very hot past few days which has me thinking of taking a dip in a swimming pool. For those who might need a lower arm prosthetic, Irish designer Robert MacCarthy has designed a swimming arm prosthetic called Oyogu.

Now even though there’s a description of how it’s supposed to work, I admit I don’t quite fully grasp it. Though I do know that basically it has a rotating shell that exposes and covers holes. This increases and decreases drag and pull. So somehow I can see how it works even though I don’t fully understand it. To see more of Oyogu and Robert Mac Carthy’s work visit www.RobertMacCarthy.com.
