A boy builder that made a nonexistent right arm with a Lego block appeared



In the world there are more than 10 professional builders certified by LEGO who make actual landscapes and art works with LEGO blocks. However, an 18 - year - old boy who surprised such a builder appeared. David Aguilar, who was born without a right arm, liked the Lego block from an early age, and he said that he had dreamed of "making one's own arms someday." And as a result of trial and error, I succeeded in building my right arm.

"I have always been playing with Lego since I was a child ... ...."


"I've assembled" cars "," planes "," bikes "with my own power"




"And now I succeeded in building my right arm"


"My name is David Aguilar, at the age of 18AndorraI am from. "


"And this is my right arm."


Aguilar had no right arm since he was born. And it seems that it was "annoying" to be able to cast many words such as "There is no hand ..." from the surroundings.


Some people think that he is disadvantageous because there is no right arm, but Mr. Aguilar is an ordinary boy.


Aguilar is aEDMI like ......


Some find a funny little piece to peek after finding a camera.


"This is the school where I am going"


Mr. Aguilar uses the arm of the Lego block, not the left arm, to open the door of the school easily.


According to Mr. Aguilar, it was at the age of 9 that he originally made artificial limbs at the Lego block, and at that time he seems to have made a boat floating in the water on his right arm. After that, it is said that I modified it to function as an arm.


However, it seems that the strength of the arm that was made at the time was insufficient, it seems that it was insufficient to make it function as a real arm. So, Mr. Aguilar decided to make a new arm.


It seems that "Mark 1" has been completed with elaborate ingenuity.


"This arm has enough strength to withstand push-ups."


"When this was completed, I went to the front of the mirror and made a muscle pose," he says.


According to Mr. Aguilar, this arm seems to have taken only 5 days from concept to completion. And he seems to decide to proceed with the upgrade of the arm at once.


And "Mark 2" is born.


"This arm incorporates a motor and a battery equivalent to the biceps brachii muscle"


"Because the tip of the motor and the arm are connected by fishing line ... ...."



"If I put this on my shoulder and operate it, I can bend my arms freely."



"When I first took this arm to school, I was really surprised" How did you make it!? "


"I am an ordinary person, but when I inform you that I made arms myself, everyone is uniformly reacting" You are smart! "Or" You are serious and smart! "


Mr. Aguilar said at the end that "friends say" I'm proud that Aguilar is really proud of my friends "and I am very happy." The prosthetic hand made from Lego also led to the creation of human relations It seems to be.
