Build your own awesome, wearable mechanical hand that you operate with your own fingers. This GIANT hydraulic hand allows you to explore the realms of hydraulics, pneumatics, and robotics, using over 200 plastic pieces and piston tubes filled with water, without the need for motors or electricity. Once assembled, your cyborg hand slips onto your own hand like a glove, with mechanical fingers that you control with your own fingers, capable of gripping objects with enough force to lift them. Challenge yourself to pick up and hold a variety of items, from bottles to pencils and small objects, leveraging the hand's reach and grip capabilities.
The hand can be configured in three ways - left hand, right hand, and claw-like, with the thumb in the center - and can be adjusted to fit virtually all hand sizes. A 40-page, full-color manual guides the model building and experimentation process, while 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.
No motors, no batteries - just the power of air pressure, water, and your own hands! Hydraulic pistons enable the mechanical fingers to open, close, and grip objects with enough force to lift them. Every finger joint can be adjusted to different angles for precision movement, allowing you to tailor the hand's functionality to your needs.
