@diegoradoblasio Not for me friend, it has led to wonderful opportunities. It is a pleasure making pathways for others. It is all about a persons attitude to life and making the best of things . Always look on the bright side of life. Best Wishes Mark Lesek.

This Mark guy really inspires me. When most people would've given up, he reverse engineered and entire prosthetic. He's absolutely genius. I wish more people would persevere as much as he does.

@eckyspondoolie Can I try these ,yes I think they would be good.

[markmonty54]

HI eckyspondoolie, I would be interested in trying your suggestion. Will look into it...Thanks for the idea

[eckyspondoolie]

Great work, see clip called:

NEODYMIUM MAGNET LEVITATION Vertical Axis Wind Turbine MAGNETIC

my question is would small magnets as bearing in the wrist be useful?

[eckyspondoolie]

Excellent. Would frictionless magnet bearings be of any use in these?

See the clip titled:

Magnets make good bearings
