Ancient Irish practices like Brehon Laws show values of harmony and restoration. Hiberno-Celtic Futurism bridges these lessons with modern eco-social justice, offering tools for resilience in today’s complex world.
What can we learn from our ancestors?

Celtic traditions value liminal spaces—times like Samhain or places like ancient monuments. Hiberno-Celtic Futurism uses these transitions as inspiration to reimagine resilience and sustainability in our volatile world.

How can liminal thinking spark innovation?

24/ Check out that paper here in the
SuperSciTech Journal from TU Delft :

Let me know what you think, your thoughts and what the next #Superhero paper topic should be...

21/ The final piece is power, how to power something like this. Power requirement would be high in this case, so excluding some form of a miniature nuclear reactor or a #Stark Arc Reactor, the most likely cannon suitable power source is a #Tesseract derived source.....
November 16, 2024 at 11:04 AM
20/ On control systems, a real-world example for Open Bionics is used to show the excellent control systems that are currently used to control advanced prosthetics along with new electromyography systems which are also suitable...
November 16, 2024 at 11:04 AM
19/ Sensors are most likely advanced systems to mimic the human senses including flexible optoelectronic sensors and Force Sensing Resistors (FSRs) with the integration of numerous sensors into a sensor array....
November 16, 2024 at 11:04 AM
18/ On actuators, pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs), first developed in the 1950s by Joseph L. McKibben under the name McKibben Artificial Muscles for artificial limbs are likely used simulating the function of real human muscles....
November 16, 2024 at 11:04 AM
17/ I discuss partial bone replacement and full limb replacement, showing both options as viable with current technologies like intra-medullary devices or hum like robotic arms such as "Reachy".....
November 16, 2024 at 11:04 AM
16/ Next I take a look at the system's design, looking into the major control elements of the arm including #ControlSystems, #Sensors, #Actuators, a Power Source & the #Mechanical Structure of the arm itself...

15/ It is important to note that during the events of #avengersinfintywar, Barnes received a new arm made of #vibranium that was produced by Shuri in Wakanda. However, due to the unknown properties of vibranium an assessment of this arm is not possible at present 😝.....

13/ Historically, uranium-doped steels were used in tools after World War I [28], while enriched uranium was first manufactured in the 1940’s after both the US and USSR began their nuclear weapon programs. These are used in Kinetic Energy Penetrators (KEPs)..

9/ This estimation allowed me to identify a number of metals that have densities in that range, allowing me to review with the performance characteristics shown in the comics & movies. Materials included Plutonium, Tungsten, Gold & Uranium.
November 16, 2024 at 11:04 AM
7/Using biomedical data from a biomedical study of military personnel conducted by the usairforce in 1996 entitled “Weight, Volume and Center of Mass of Segments of the Human Body” by Charles E Clauser et al. I estimated averaged arm volume for a military ages male....
November 16, 2024 at 11:04 AM
6/ I used a paper published by DeLeva to estimate the average mass of limb segments as a percentage of a person's total body mass to estimate the total estimated mass of Buckys (pre-winter soldier) arm. This gave a baseline to estimate the mass change pre & post Winter Soldier...
November 16, 2024 at 11:04 AM
5/ I think move to materials, linking the performance of the arm, the time period it was built in (WW2 - Cold War Era) and the material performance of metals.
Then using USArmy biomedical data sets i estimated the average mass of a male the same physiological age as Bucky..
November 16, 2024 at 11:04 AM
4/ I then try to estimate the damage sustained by Bucky from his fall in the first CaptainAmerica movie, to get an idea of the muscles and bones that would need to be replaced or repaired with new #Bionic systems.
