Newtons Cradle

The Newton's Cradle, otherwise known as that awesome rocking thing that sits on your desk, is the must have office accessory for the busy executive. It tells all comers that you are not only an important, educated individual, but that you also know how to have some good old fashioned scientific fun. Or possibly it just says that you like to waste time staring at a seemingly inexplicable perpetual motion toy.

Stylish and timeless, this Newton's Cradle desk toy is the perfect gift for a stressed desk-bound office worker. Its gentle swinging will aid relaxation and the hypnotic action of the balls is brilliant for making you take a moment to be calm. The perpetual motion of the pendulums will add a touch of class and elegance to your desk and will provide a handy distraction on dull days. Simply look like you're pondering important things and watch the Newton's Cradle work its magic.

Here at FMAG Towers we've been trying our hardest to work out how the Newton's Cradle works. After much deliberation, we've decided it's got to be something to do with gravity, magic, or a combination of the two. Either that or Newton's Third Law of Motion, but unfortunately Sir Isaac is no longer around to put us straight so we're sticking with the magic. So why not buy this perpetual motion cradle and work out how it conserves momentum and energy for yourself?
