Build your own awesome, wearable mechanical hand that you operate with your own fingers. No motors, no batteries — just the power of air pressure, water, and your own hands! Using over 200 plastic pieces and piston tubes that you fill with water, construct an incredible mechanical hand that uses hydraulic power to simulate the movements of the human hand. Once assembled, your cyborg hand slips onto your own hand like a glove, with mechanical fingers that you operate with your own fingers and that can grip objects with enough force to lift them.
The hand can be configured in three ways: left hand, right hand, and claw-like, with the thumb in the center. Adjustable to fit virtually all hand sizes, the hand allows you to challenge yourself to pick up and hold a variety of items like bottles, pencils, and small objects. Hydraulic pistons enable the mechanical fingers to open and close and grip objects with enough force to lift them. Every finger joint can be adjusted to different angles for precision movement.
Explore the worlds of hydraulics, pneumatics, and robotics with your very own GIANT hydraulic hand! A 40-page, full-color manual guides model building and experimentation, providing engaging scientific information about how pneumatic and hydraulic systems are used in industrial robots to assist with a variety of tasks in our modern world. Learn how these systems are employed in applications such as automobile components.
