Video shows a prosthetic arm powered by pressure created when a small 
amount of fuel is released from a chamber onto a catalyst. The fuel 
turns to steam that pushes the cylinders to make the move. Vented steam 
produces moisture which is absorbed by a sleeve around the prosthesis 
and is evaporated like sweat. Very interesting design!
