you don't/can't "WIN" arguing on the internet…keeping score just makes it worse.

just one thought: Why dont you add floaters ;) looks like there would be plenty of space to add them.

--knyfe-- Your the one who got me thinking on this :

The current leg and knee-brace weigh a total of 6.3Lb for just the one pictured on the
first page. I took paper and lined it off with 1 inch squares to get an approximate # of
sq/inches for the upper part. If i made that socket with a core material of 1/8" Nomex- Honeycomb.
The stiffness would increase by the cube of the extra thickness and almost add enough
bouncy to float the leg.

Next i get rid of ALL the SS and Aluminum pylon and shape the lower part where my cafe-muscle
use to be ; and use the same core material with carbon down to the foot to attach to a delrin socket
ball.

I now have the buoyancy to float the leg , and my math tells me it will weigh in the 4-Lb range;
and if i need more i can close off the lower part with a bulk-head to add more.

Next i attach a removable cover made of a day-glow orange so i can see it next time i loose it. Now i don't
need safety-cord to keep the prosthetic attached . It will look about the same as my personality ---
((Loud)) , so they Should fit right in !!!!

I'm gonna need to get an artsy type person to shape the lower part for me, but once i got a mold
the rest will be easy with my composite background. This will be the 16th leg i've made so-far.
Too-Bad --chemosavi-- is such a fricken Dick because that's the kind of art talent i'm gonna need
to shape the lower half.

You made all your own prosthetics? ...Holy crap!
I was going to say, you should go find a prosthetics company to sponsor you and you can be their athlete poster boy.
They can make you some superlight, floating leg that will have a nice spring to it when you load for a jump. You will be jumping twice as high and they will sell more prosthetic product = win/win!

The one Meli is holding was made by the VA, so there kinda my sponsor
right now.

I got a Way different design going, so far i broke and repaired Everything that
was given to me. Ideas come slow, but current state of the art isn't cutting it !
It's like the current designers of prosthetic ------------ they don't actually use one ;
they walk around on genuine stock feet maybe.

Find a friend whose legs you either like or look like yours use to. Maybe Melipel? (No probably not a good pick.)

Take some cheese cloth and some plaster and cast their legs just like they do for busted legs but much thinner. Grease em up good so nothing sticks.

Cut them off in halves. Now you have the female molds to fill in with fiberglass/epoxy or whatever composite tickles your testicles.

I'm a DICK so you didn't hear this from me.
