Kaylene Kau's prosthetic arm is possibly a honeyed modern refurbish of the out-of-date pirate's hook, or a terrifying device that will spin its wearer in to a Cthuloid-human dog . we preference the former, if usually since we wish to nap at night.
The prosthesis is not written to be a prehensile limb, but instead it's an assistive member is to great arm. A elementary engine drives two cables inside the tentacle, and the wearer controls it with a span of switches on the top section. Just put the "arm" in place, strike the switch and it curls around whatever you may wish to carry. The other switch unfurls the arm.
It's not Dean Kamen's incredible drudge arm , but then it would moreover be a lot cheaper, and thus existing to many more people. And if a bandit were to barter this in for his current, eye-gouging offshoot setup, he'd of course be gripping to an oceanic theme.
