They are hand-made early versions of a product you might want to manufacture.
They look good enough to show to investors to get them excited. They also give you an idea about how to avoid interference or overheating from the internal parts.

A prototype is a mock-up ahndmade item made for experimental use or as an example to show the product. It is not the finished product it is an example to start refining the product for mass production.
A prototype may or may not work correctly it is a proposed item that may need refining to get to the finished product
Lots of companies make prototypes during the experimental process to see if the finished product will the feasible.
