Building a Prosthetic Arm With Lego
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 03. 2018
- Ever since he was a kid, David Aguilar was obsessed with Lego. He spent his childhood building cars, planes, helicopters, and eventually, his own prosthetic. Born with a deformed arm, the self-named “Hand Solo” decided to take his Lego-building skills to the next level. At age 18, he perfected his designs with the MK2, a prosthetic arm with the ability to bend and pick up objects with a pincer-like grip. Now, he’s the coolest kid on the block.

This man will eventually make an Iron Man suit out of LEGO, that works just like in the comics and movies.
YarnHatter I was thinking that too lmao
A red iron man suit
IronScrap _ that’s not Ironman, that’s LEGOman
@@kevinkeung9336 u right
I was gonna say he is like iron man because he upgraded the arm just like iron man upgrades his suit
LEGO needs to hire this genius.

imagine bullying a kid for not having a forearm and hand and the next day he come with lego arm
then it has a weapon
Attaches 100 spring launchers with painful tips with bad intentions
He would still get bullied
It would get stolen
This is literally what I respect in human kind. Even with an arm missing, He made himself a new arm. The power of brain !
It's big brain time
The new gunslinger
This dude need to get more likes
No the power of legos!
The power of lego
Can we take in the fact that he built this legitimately single handed
and maybe a small stub
hey engi gamer in tf2
U are pro
Thanks
Yeah and its like his talent respect the master builder *bows*
I still can't believe the guy I went to parties with and studied in my same class is now reaching success. Congrats my friend !
Greetings from Andorra.
This guy struggled and became a LEGEND. He's so young, one handed, got bullied but guess what- He built an ARM. Imagine if he had the money to build something big tho
Someone: *punches David in the arm*
David: *Thorns II*
So underrated
Error 404 oml, I don’t know what to say
Good one
Back at u buckaroo

Here’s the new lego tesla. 90,000 please!
Guy: **Builds working lego arm with only 1 arm**
Me: **Struggles to put 2 bricks together**
The Maniac 90876 with 2 arms.
So true and so sad x,d
So quirky haha
Ya know what’s even harder? Taking two of the same LEGO bricks apart when they are together
@@user-fy7hx9gd6u wrong, it's taking off a flat piece on a flat tile
I find it so amazing and inspiring that people can do such amazing things even when they might have something like this; not having a full grown arm, or leg, and their 'disadvantage' can infact push them to do more than people without a disadvantage could ever think of doing!
him: builds a prosthetic arm
me: doesn't even now how to build a simple lego house with instructions-
Doctors: sorry prosthetic arms are really expensive.
Him: I'm gonna do it myself
lol
@Football Mania bruh lego is like 100 bucks for 1000 peices and the moter is 50
@Football Mania bro i was joking
*Fine I'll do it myself*
@@Darthmaster52 how the fuck were you joking? Should've made it more obvious
He sounds so excited and genuinely happy while explaining his amazing creations. So wholesome.
What an absolute genius. I hope he’s doing well!
Finally, a way to sneak lego into "regular" classes is found
Mumbo jumbo: “ the build isn’t that hard “
The build:
Hahah yes
Grian:
Plot twist: His life sized lego suit is under construction
Don’t forget the LEGO arc reactor
@@thespringacorn6318 oh yes..
The lego arc reactor
Plot twist: ifergs twin
Well my friend's we are all going to die if we call him limpy.
He took Do it yourself to a whole new level
He built that “single handedly” amazing
Respect to this guy. *He doesn't need an extra set of hands.*
No. He just needs half a set. :D
What? Set? Dude he is only missing one hand you. You must be missing a brain.
@@furbait3442 I'm pretty sure he just meant David A only needed half of the Lego complete set.
@@furbait3442 no u
Yes, he's really good at making Lego Hands. I hope I also have one for my brother and I'll give him a gift, but I don't know how to do it:/
Teachers be like:
"briNginG ToYs tO sCHool iS BaNnED"
After watching this i brought Lego to school
Yes, I don't know why you shouldn't bring Lego to school.
@@jarnoisthenumber1863 why not?
@@genuinequality.8722 I think that the school system shouldn't tell us that we don't bring LEGO to school.
Than its gone...
Mine Turt
Hey
The that fact he wore a star wars T shirt just is just awesome
I love how when he is taking about MK2 you can hear the excitement in his voice
I know these comments are full of jokes and memes but this guy seems like a really down to heart guy and I wish the best for him
same
Yeah. But the memes and and jokes are at least not at him. More pointing out how cool he is
Better to have memes about how cool it is rather than cold hearted hate comments.
Gotta agree with you here, this is one of the reasons why I hate memes instead of getting actual feedback and seeing on what others have learned throughout this video. You see memes everywhere how can it not be sickening?
@@MidnightWanderer00 Wtf r u talking about with awesomeness????
Seriously, no one mentioned HAND SOLO??!
Gud pun
Han solo: i have a bad feeling about this
I.
I was thinking the exact same
Comic sans is actually a good font
“he has an embarrassing dad” jeez💀
This guy has achieved more with only one arm than I have with two
When he was young he LOVED LEGO
Me: *didnt we all*
Mike Vaknansky true
When he brought up the MK2 he reminded me of Tony Stark lol
Same bro :(
Lego man
Yeah :( his second cool costume
Same:( we love you 3000
Now I'm having endgame flashbacks 😔
this was touching but i would zone out and think about how often he stepped on lego pieces because of how much he played with lego so i would have to re watch lol
Petition for Marvel or DC to make this guys into a superhero, like lego man or smth idk i suck with names
2:26 look at the hand around the guy in the middle what a mad lad

Stop being a hater ur sad btw
@@TheBear-zf6rv what

Imagine him in 20 years:
David: "So this is the MK 47 of my Lego arm and I can basically lift things with my mind now"
Screw that.
He's going to have lego android personal servants.
Local man creates mech suit with legos
Me thinking of AK-47 lol
Nah he’s gonna make a actual shape ship with them legos
Later: So this is MK105 in a nutshell I am the strongest man on Earth and I can lift the moon
This man makes the lego system ever more beloved.
This Man has took the “Heroes aren’t Born, they’re Built”, quote to a whole different level
*Everybody gangsta until he punches someone with Wolverine knuckles*
Lego wolverine knuckles
Oh god lol
Lol
Imagine he ripps his fuckin organs out with this
lol
Thanos: I am inevitable
David: And I am LEGO Man.
No man, just no. Horrible joke
FLOPPYDARTZZ their profile picture is just as horrible as their joke
Terrible joke 0/10
🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
@@gamecrafter4047 ur joke is horrible
This is the proof that soon enough, people will live in a lego house or have a operating lego airplane or ship ( human-sized, ofc )
This guy is very creative, I really like that!
Him: Builds a Lego Arm in 5 days
Me: Cant even build a boat in 5 days
Me: can't even seperate 2 blocks away from each other in 5 eons
Lol
Me: Builds a whole minecraft set in less then 2 hours
Me can't even put a Lego piece in 1 year

Some day he will make a mark that is a moveable and adujustable arm with again moveable and adjustable fingers and hands made out of legos
One day friends, one day...

How is he NOT working for LEGO, this is incredible!
Absolute living legend.

Me: "How do you put those pieces together!"
Ikr

Im about to sound like a dumbed down legonerd...but lego technic has bars, sockets, Ball and Cup joints, pins, rubber bands, gears, etc, to make moving parts. And he could have been using Mindstorm/Power function parts as well
you take one piece and put it on the other one
He can use the nub like a finger
He’s like LEGO Tony Stark
Brilliant job for one teenager so intelligent boy congratulations.
.
Duwang Thang Legoman lol
yes
If Tony Stark ends up having a child they should cast him for it...😃
what an absolute blessing that he found such an amazing hobby
Respect. I like his attitude towards life. Even if he has defects, he can actively deal with life. Even he comes up with a method to make a manipulator. I'm glad that his friends won't dislike him because of defects.
this guy is a god, I can't even build a car without the instructions
He is a master builder.
I built a huge temple and thought I was good but he is amazing
i built a city by my self
vault_boy69 me too
Same
When someone steps on my hand, I feel pain, but then they step on your hand, they feel pain
mr. demonatized *NANI*
i see you everywhere i go.
*EVERYWERE!!*

That's a really good one xD.
Nice
Its actually so cute to see his stubby hand press against hard lego brick’s its so cute but also so inspiring in some way
He’s awesome and he’s the most creative person I’ve ever seen in my life
*You: Lego Is A Piece Of My Childhood*
*David: lego is a piece of me*
😂
You want a piece of me?!
Yeah.
Well here you go. *gives lego pieces*
*We are LEGOM*
Full lego alchemists
Full Lego Alchemist
The Last Methbender stahp please stahp
The Last Methbender smh
The Last Methbender 😂
Bro he’s such a lovable dude
Remember show this to anyone kid with one arm
If he punches someone with that then that person is going to die
Legos are very tough...
Rip to that person forever
Punch them in the foot
Legos can also be landmines or home alone traps
*The real reason why Kim Jong-Un should be afraid*
if theres a robber trying to catch him all he had to do is drop his lego arm very hard to the point that it will shatter into pieces and MUWAHHAHAHAAH
“Wash your hands and stay safe”
David: lmao
he is gonna wash is other hand obviously and maybe the tip of the undeveloped one

He completed this project single-handedly

I was thinking that when he was at school 😝
MλresDλniel TV of a Karen was a teacher of this kid
@MλresDλniel TV bbrrrruuuhhhh 🎼🎶🎼🎶🎼
Booo
Lol.
SOMEBODY HIRE THIS KID! I love the potential for this kind of cleverness to make it possible for people to have prosthetics and other similar appliances without having to pay through the nose for them. I know for most people in the US with lousy health insurance, you're lucky if they will give you a block of wood on a stick to use as a leg. But just like with 3D printing, this sort of thing could make far more ingenious devices more plentifully and for much less money.
this juvenile is really smart
Amanda Lord "Juvenile" Defined. A "juvenile" is a person who has not attained his eighteenth birthday, and "juvenile delinquency" is the violation of a law of the United States committed by a person prior to his eighteenth birthday which would have been a crime if committed by an adult. You used the word wrong.
VitalCubeGaming cool story bro everyone makes mistakes
lol ikr he act 'smart' xd
VitalCubeGaming
He didn't say anything about juvenile delinquency, dude....
LEGO is a legend.
Bringing imagination to reality!
LEGO is truly the answer to all your problems. Even the problem of a missing arm.
Upcoming Marvel movie

HAND SOLO *WHEEEEEEEZE*
What's the name KindAq
KindAq I just thought that but then my idea went to trash when I saw your comment
How about legonite
This guy is my hero! I love this. The high school robotics team I'm a part of has been busy using 3d printers to print children prosthetics, but this is something like I've never seen. Such genius and ingenuity.
Weisbrod Imaging your hero's channel is called "hand solo."
Kiss ass lol
soniel Lund - Maybe, but I'm not kidding when I say I love this kind of thing:. This is a link to a video I did with one of my FIRST Robotics students that goes over the process of 3d printing prosthetics for children who don't have hands:
czcams.com/video/diIqSqe4ylA/video.html
And this team of amazing high schoolers I'm involved with (Team 1511, Rolling Thunder) has now printed 50 hands for children all over the world
So yeah, maybe I'm a bit too enthusiastic, but hey, this is the kind of thing to get enthusiastic about!

AMAZING
Fantástico. Parabéns pela persistência. Parabéns a Lego por proporcionar esses projetos.
Damn i was waiting for a longest video, that was the most impressive video i have seen today

Fun isn't what one considers when building an arm, but this? Hehehehe, does put a smile on my face.
Sadrambe XD XD

Lego should make somthing like this for everyone that loves lego and has not a full limb or whatever
The creativity is incredible hand solo is now hand duo!
I see a future engineer that will change the world !

This is one of the most inspirational stories i have ever heard
Now this is what i call a “Toy story”

Same
Maybe the pain nerves haven't developed
well the bones and muscle aren't fully developed, but the bones might be as strong as a regular arm bone
when i do that it doesn't hurt that much imo
Me too
Building a Lego with an arm is insane
I hope one day he builds a fully metal computerized one someday.
This guy can really say the words:
" Fine, I'll do it myself..."
