A desk that makes you want to understand
Anti-gravity gyroscope, Newton’s cradle, prism and tensegrity sculpture: four physics classics brought together to build a science fan’s desk.
Motion, balance, light: each object has its own principle and effect, at home or at work.
Good to know: The gyroscope comes with its base, string and launcher.
What's in the Gift Box
Antigravity Gyroscope
A precision metal gyroscope, supplied with its base, string and launcher. As long as it spins, it stays balanced in positions that seem impossible.
View productNewton’s Cradle Balance Balls
The great desk classic: five metal balls on a mirror base, passing energy from one knock to the next. An elegant demonstration of the conservation of momentum.
View productTriangular Glass Prism
A 5 cm crystal prism that splits white light into a rainbow, just like Newton’s experiment. In the sun or in front of a lamp, it casts the colour spectrum onto the wall.
View productTensegrity Lego
A structure to assemble that seems to float in mid-air, held only by taut chains. It illustrates the principle of tensegrity, used in architecture and sculpture alike.
