Explore the fascinating world of hydraulics, pneumatics, and robotics with your very own GIANT hydraulic hand! This incredible hands-on project allows you to build an awesome mechanical hand that uses the power of hydraulics to simulate the movements of the human hand, without the need for any motors or electricity.
The set includes over 200 plastic pieces and piston tubes that you can fill with water to bring your creation to life. Assemble the mechanical hand, which slips onto your own hand like a glove, with fingers that you can operate using your own digits. Marvel as the hydraulic power enables the fingers to grip objects with enough force to lift them, allowing you to pick up and hold a variety of items, from bottles and pencils to small trinkets.
The hand can be configured in three different ways: left hand, right hand, and a claw-like design with the thumb in the center. This versatility means the hand can be adjusted to fit virtually any hand size, providing an engaging and customizable experience.
Accompany your hands-on building and experimentation with the comprehensive 40-page, full-color manual. This guide not only walks you through the model-building process but also provides fascinating scientific information about how pneumatic and hydraulic systems are employed in industrial robots, helping to assist with a wide range of tasks in our modern world.
Unlock your inner engineer and create your own awesome, wearable mechanical hand, operated solely by the power of air pressure, water, and your own hands. No motors, no batteries – just the pure joy of hands-on discovery and learning.
The hydraulic pistons enable the mechanical fingers to open, close, and grip objects with impressive force, while each individual finger joint can be adjusted to different angles for precise movement and control.
Whether you choose to configure the hand as a right hand, left hand, or a claw-like design, the adjustable nature of the device ensures a perfect fit for virtually any human hand, providing an engaging and customizable experience.
Dive into the fascinating world of industrial robotics and explore how pneumatic and hydraulic systems are utilized to assist with a variety of tasks, from automobile manufacturing to other advanced applications.
Recognized for its educational and STEAM-focused approach, this incredible hands-on project was awarded the 2021 STEAM Toy of the Year by The Toy Association, cementing its status as a must-have for aspiring scientists, engineers, and curious minds of all ages.
Unleash your creativity, hone your problem-solving skills, and immerse yourself in the captivating realms of hydraulics, pneumatics, and robotics with this one-of-a-kind GIANT hydraulic hand kit. Prepare to be amazed as you bring your very own mechanical hand to life, powered by the force of water and your own ingenuity.
