Cheap mechanical hand mimes piano-playing
This mechanical, piano-playing aritificial hand costs $17 and looks like what you get when you productize the spooky mechanical head out of the end of Neuromancer -- something cheap and plasticky that turns itself on when you clap at it.
Link (Thanks, AxiomShell!)The various gears and levers inside this clear plastic hand interact to move the fingers as if they are playing one of six classic piano pieces; as the digits play selections from Beethoven's "Fifth Symphony", Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer," or Chopin's "Minute Waltz," you'll be fascinated by their precise movement...
