Unleash the power of hydraulics with the Thames & Kosmos Hydraulic Hand, an innovative STEM toy that allows you to build a fully functional, wearable mechanical hand. Using over 200 plastic pieces and piston tubes, this kit lets you explore the fascinating world of pneumatics and robotics. Assemble the hand without any motors or batteries—just the power of air pressure and water. The hydraulic pistons enable the mechanical fingers to open, close, and grip objects with enough force to lift them, making it a captivating and educational experience.
This mechanical hand can be configured in three ways: right hand, left hand, and claw-like, with adjustable finger joints for precision movement. It fits virtually any human hand, making it perfect for all aspiring young engineers and robotics enthusiasts. A 40-page, full-color manual guides you through the assembly process and provides engaging scientific information about how pneumatic and hydraulic systems are used in industrial robots. Winner of the 2021 Toy Association's STEAM Toy of the Year, this kit is an excellent addition to any educational toy collection.
