Adrian monk Disneytopian Blinking Hand of Righteousness (Turn Signal Glove)

Step 5Now go play in the street...

Now go play in the street...
To turn on, press your thumb to the index finger switch to complete the constant-on or flashing circuit. Press again to cycle through the flashing patterns. Please, no Michael Jackson impersonations when you take this for a test ride.

Now does anyone remember how to do proper turn signals with their hands?

Practice this long enough and you will be ready to do the silent auction bidding at Sotheby's.

Do not pass this off as a lie detector or stud-indicator when you try to apply the Vulcan mind-meld or neck-nerve-pinch to impress the lads or lassies.

Further modifications of this are to:

- Add more reflective tape or piping to accent the fingers.

- Use electroluminescent wires (EL wires) instead of LEDs.

- Use real conductive thread to wire up your LEDs and contact pads.

- Use a scratch-built LED controller circuit.

- Make your own leather gloves in the steampunk style. attach leather bindings, pop in brass tacks and eyelets and attach little flickering gas lamps. >sarcasm but serious<

- Add padding and cardboard/fiberglass plates to make it HALO armor style.

- Use a joule thief circuit to get the most out of a bunch of used batteries that would go to waste.

So when in heavy traffic don't just give the finger, use the lights on your turn-signal glove to show them where to go.

Please, hack my hack. I'd like to see what you can do with this. Good luck. Happy and safe riding!
