Oh , right , Newtons , I was saying Nano centameters! thanks....I guess you
need a fair amount of gearing and distance to use these gears effectivly
along with opposing resistance, I love the way it works in the hand I
developed, infact in included a touch sensor in the thumb inorder to reverse
directions automatically, but the gear works so well, I often just rely on
timming, when using the Arm in an unofficial testing manner....Eric
