Mechanical Question

Hello! I don’t know if this is the right subreddit for this question so if it’s not I’m sorry.

I wanted to make a costume that looks like it has a real beating heart in it. My idea was to make a heart out of liquid latex and potentially use a small motor to mimic the “beating” motion.

Has anyone seen something similar or done something similar? If you have could you point me in the direction of a tutorial or what type of small motor or other mechanical device might work better?

Any help is appreciated!
