Cyborg Angel Giuffria Demonstrates her Robotic Hand and Archery Attachment

Netflix’s White Rabbit Project features Mythbusters alums Kari Byron, Tory Belleci and Grant Imahara checking out inventions and technology. In this unaired clip, actress, public speaker, humanitarian, model and cyborg Angel Giuffria shows Imahara a couple of her detachable hands, including a specialized archery attachment:

In the comments that sprung up on the Facebook page where this clip was posted, one commenter wrote:

“Wait I just don’t get one thing… she has a whole hand attachment and another attachment to hold her bow? Why do you need two when you only need the hand? Am I missing something?”

Another commenter succinctly explained: 

“That hand needs power to operate, the attachment part doesn’t." 

Pretty slick. It hadn’t occurred to me that, like anything that runs on lithium-ion batteries, you’d of course want to conserve power where you can.
