Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2008.
Includes bibliographical references (leaf 19).
Developing World Prosthetics NGO has been in contact with the Jaipur Foot Organization in order to create a human powered vacuum pump for a new technique in prosthetic fitment. The new technique would provide mobility to fitment camps due to the non-reliance of an electrical grid. The design however would need to meet the demands of third-world conditions and heavy, continuous usage. This thesis seeks to explore a variety of mechanisms in order to meet the required specifications of the JFO and the new technique.
