Newtons Cradle | Scientific Toy
The appliance of science.
Newtons Cradle is named after Sir Isaac Newton himself, an invention which he employed to demonstrate a scientific discovery.
Pull up 1 ball of the Newtons Cradle, release it, and on impact, only 1 ball moves from that reaction.
Pull up 2 balls of the Newtons Cradle, release them and then 2 balls will react!
The simple yet unexpected result from the Newtons Cradle shows that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. By jove!
Features:
• Novelty desktop toy.
• Watch the seconds 'click' by.
• Scientifically accurate.
Includes FREE UK Standard Delivery.
The contact of the outer ball with the inner balls of the Newtons Cradle has the visually startling effect of moving all the energy through the stationary balls, because only the outer balls move in an equal reaction to each other. Thus, Newtons Cradle demonstrated that an object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. That's a little fact for you to crack out one time, we'll give you that for nothing.
Newtons Cradle delivers a daily dose of unprecedented genius to your life, who knows, maybe the sparkling intelligence and inspiration of the man will rub off on you?
