Hello all. I have been trying for the last few weeks to create a pneumatic
hand loosely based on the human hand. My first attempt ended up with a 32 by
54 stud behemoth. My second attempt had no power to speak of. My third attempt
was going great...until my cat decided that it looked interesting...and pulled
it to pieces. So, I relented, realizing that I just haven’t done enough work
with pneumatics to go this alone. So, remembering a hand and arm that I saw a
year or so ago on Philo’s home page, I started here at LUGNET Technic. Sadly,
my attempt at recreating Philo’s hand failed dismally, so I went to bigger and
better searches, finally finding an awesome site with Google created by a guy
named Svein Erling Lode. He had a few small pictures of a three (or
four?)-fingered, thumbed pneumatic hand holding a pilsner glass. I emailed the
link on his page (selode@mac.com), and was sadly replied by a mailer daemon
informing me that this address no longer exists. Here I sit now, asking for
help. If anyone has an in with someone with relatively detailed pictures of a
somewhat-human pneumatic hand, could you please let me know? I would greatly
appreciate this, because I kind of promised my FLL team a pneumatic
hand...before having one in hand. TIA for any help.

Hi Andrew,
I might be of help to you with the underactuated hand I constructed with
pneumatics (2nd version) or geared 9V motors (1st version).
It is very powerfull hand (when pumping up the pressure) even capable of holding
a bottle of wine (filled that is...)
I have a MLCad file (using un-official parts). Click on the Mindstorms button on
my site Lego examples for all ages
Hope to hear from you!
Regards,
Frank.
