Mega Cyborg Hand

Explore hydraulics, pneumatics, and robotics with your very own GIANT hydraulic hand! Using over 200 plastic pieces and piston tubes that you fill with water, build an awesome mechanical hand that uses hydraulic powers to simulate the movements of the human hand – no motors or electricity required! 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. Challenge yourself to pick up and hold items like bottles, pencils, and any small items. The hand can be configured three ways – left hand, right hand, claw-like with thumb in the center, and can be adjusted to fit virtually all hand sizes.

A 40-page full-color manual guides model building and experimentation and provides scientific information about how pneumatic and hydraulic systems are used in industrial robots to assist with a variety of tasks in our modern world.  Recommended for ages 10+, or 7+ with help.
