Mega Cyborg Hand STEM Experiment Kit

 

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.

 

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.
