Newtons Cradle | Online8 New Zealand The classic desk demonstration of conservation of momentum, built here with a timber base and black metal frame rather than the usual plastic. Lift one ball, let it fall, and the impulse travels through the row to swing the far ball out — then back again. It's a piece of physics that doubles as something to occupy your hands during a long phone call. Why It Stands Apart Timber & Metal Build: A warmer, heavier alternative to the moulded plastic versions. Weighted Base: Stays steady on the desk so the swing runs true instead of walking the frame around. Desk-Scale: At 18.5cm high it fits beside a monitor or on a bookshelf without taking over. Arrives Assembled: Out of the box and working, with no stringing or setup required. Specifications Colour Black Material Metal & Wood Dimensions 18 (L) x 15 (W) x 18.5 (H) cm Assembly Arrives assembled Frequently Asked Questions Who is this a good gift for? Office workers, engineers, students and anyone with a desk. It's a reliable choice when you know the person but not their taste. Does it need a flat surface? Yes — a level desk or shelf gives the cleanest swing. On an uneven surface the balls will drift out of line and the motion stops sooner. How is it shipped? We ship nationwide.
