Select a product to estimate shipping.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 power 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 a variety of items like bottles, pencils, small items anything with reach! 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 model building and experimentation and provides 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.
Important information
Safety Information
WARNING. Not suitable for children under 3 years. Choking hazard — small parts may be swallowed or inhaled. Keep packaging and instructions as they contain important information.
Directions
1. Assemble the mechanical hand using the 200+ plastic pieces and piston tubes. 2. Fill the piston tubes with water. 3. Slip the assembled hand onto your own hand like a glove. 4. Operate the mechanical fingers with your own fingers to grip and lift objects. 5. Follow the 40-page, full-color manual for guidance on assembly, experimentation, and scientific information.
Construct a GIANT, wearable hydraulic hand!
A hands-on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) experiment kit, Mega Cyborg Hand provides a fun and engaging introduction to hydraulics, pneumatics, and robotics.
Use the 203 pieces to assemble a 16-inch robotic hand that slips onto your own hand like a glove, with mechanical fingers that you operate with your own fingers.
During assembly, you'll conduct experiments with different parts of the mechanical hand to learn more about air and water power and hydraulic transmissions.
Customizable: adjust for different sized hands and easily re-configure for right- and left-handed users , or to use it like a claw, with the thumb in the center.
52-page, full-color instruction manual provides detailed step-by-step assembly instructions, clear scientific explanations and examples of hydraulic and pneumatic systems in the real world, and a fun comic about the fictional adventures of the Mega Cyborg Hand!
No motors, no batteries --just the power of water, air, and your own hands!
Two recommended age levels: 7+ with help; 10+ "I got this!"
Winner of the 2021 STEAM Toy of the Year Award !
