NEWTONS CRADLE - EXECUTIVE TOY
This demonstrates Sir Isaac Newton's principle that 'for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction'.
If one of the steel balls is lifted and allowed to fall back at one end, then one will swing out at the other end. This causes the beginning of perpetual motion which dies down only as a result of friction. Equally, if two of the balls are lifted and dropped then two will swing out at the other end. And so on....
This executive toy was huge in the 80s and is now making a massive come back as a retro gift. It will look superb anywhere and it's a great stress buster too!
