Toys that demonstrate the power of science are among some of the best. After all it was curiosity that killed the cat and entertained the human. Newton’s Cradle is an all-time classic desktop toy that demonstrates conversation of scientific momentum and energy. It also makes a nice clicking noise. Delightful! Constructed from five miniature pendulums next to one another, the Newton’s Cradle is a science geek’s dream. Each pendulum is attached to a frame by two strings of equal length angled away from each other. This string arrangement restricts the pendulums' movements to the same plane, thus causing them to hit each other and propel the other into the air. Watch them transfer the kinetic energy through each other right to the end of the row, while almost immediately the last one flies out and back in again with another satisfying ‘TICK’. It’s a hypnotic and entertaining desk toy, and the best bit is that it keeps the momentum going for quite some time so you can simply start it off once and enjoy the gentle movement and rhythmic noise for a good while. Also, if you’re someone who likes their office nice and tidy but with some good looking objects the Newton’s small cradle is ideal. Good looking, with its gold metal frame and matching golden balls, the Newton’s cradle is contemporarily sleek, intriguing and yet compact so it doesn’t take up too much precious desk space. Features: Gold coloured Newton’s Cradle Compact size for smaller desks There is also a larger version of the small Newton’s cradle available.
