If our bodies were industrial machines

This video will show you how our bodies may be if we were industrial machines hehe

Fritz Kahn a doctor born in Germany produced several illustrations (1920s) that explained the human physiology using operations of machines. It was a wonderful imagination to think of the human anatomy as a various mechanical components. These illustrations have provided great insight in a simplistic way to understand the human physiology. Recently, Henning Lederer a graphics artist and animator attempted to use modern techniques to convert & adapt the work of Kahn into an interactive product.

Given below is an animation created by Lederer and the original poster (Der Mensch als Industriepalast [Man as Industrial Palace]) created by Kahn in 1926.
