The Electro Magnet Prosthetic Arm is a groundbreaking invention designed by Ridwan S and modeled using SolidWorks 2014. The arm, which has been rendered with KeyShot 5, features 183,704 vertices and 367,798 polygons. It was created for the GrabCad Challenge to explore innovative solutions for prosthetic arm accessories and support parts. The key concept behind this product is an electro-magnetic system that enables users to carry metal objects effortlessly. The power supply is located within the main arm, which activates the electro-magnet when required. Additionally, LED lights automatically turn on when the electro-magnet is active and switch off when it's not in use, acting as an indicator light. Ridwan envisions users using this tool for various tasks such as picking up fallen nails, opening refrigerator doors, carrying stainless steel cups, tidying up garages, holding onto metal railings, adjusting metal zippers, and more. The design is simple, easy to use, suitable for veterans, visually pleasing, and functional. To control the on/off function of the electro-magnet system, Ridwan proposes placing it somewhere easily reachable on the user's body or incorporating a cable that can be connected and disconnected with specific movements.
