Super Me! (And Super You, As Well)
Have you ever watched a movie about this guy . . .
and wished you, too, could fly and have super-strength?
Well, guess what? You can! Sort of. You still can't fly, but now you can have super-strength!
and wished you, too, could fly and have super-strength?
Well, guess what? You can! Sort of. You still can't fly, but now you can have super-strength!
How can this be? Four smart geeks, I mean four smart students from the University of Pennsylvania have invented a device that can give you an instant boost of strength! It's called Titan Arm. Here's what it looks like:
The Titan Arm is a robotic device that you simply put on over your existing right arm. It goes across your shoulders and back. It lets you lift an extra 40 pounds more than you could before without any extra strain on your body!
Not sure what this guy is trying to do with the Titan Arm . . .
but imagine what you could do if you could easily lift heavy objects.
You could lift up your grandma . . .
. . . your friends . . . .
. . . or even a big rock.
The Titan Arm weighs 18 pounds and is controlled with a handheld joystick. It can also measure your range of motion and track your strength.
So, besides those of us who want to be superheroes, who could use this device? The Titan Arm can help lots of regular people too: people who have been injured, people with diseases like arthritis, and even people who have to lift heavy things for a living, like movers, and delivery men and women.
Since the Titan Arm is so epic, do you think it must be expensive? Well, it is. It goes for about $2,000. But that's not a lot compared to similar devices that sell for around $10,000.
So before you save the world, start by saving your allowance.
