Explaining momentum has never been easier thanks to Newton’s Cradle – a device designed to demonstrate the conservation of energy with swinging spheres. Pull back and release one of the balls, and watch as it swings back. The force that propagates through the other balls creates a hypnotic motion. More Details

Newton's Craddle

Very awkward to get out of the packaging. It became very tangled, but undamaged, and took quite a while to untangle.

Arrived safely

Happy this could be unpacked and enjoyed by grandson; previous cradle from another supplier was tangled and returned.

Not quite level

Solidly constructed Cradle, frame, base and ball bearings are all excellent. Unfortunately the nylon line is not quite equal length so the pendulum swing quickly stops.
