Frequently Asked Questions
How does it keep moving?
The two sticks are linked so that the motion of one affects the other, which creates the complex, unpredictable swings. A small battery-powered drive gives them a gentle push to keep them going.
Does it need batteries?
Yes, the Swinging Sticks are battery operated, which is what keeps the movement going without you having to restart it by hand.
What is it made of?
It is made from aircraft aluminium and ABS, with 2 moving sticks on its stand.
How big is it?
It measures 26 cm x 40 cm x 9 cm, so allow some room for the sticks to swing freely on your desk or shelf.
Who would enjoy it as a gift?

Bought this for my grandson, and he couldn’t take his eyes off it. Kept him entertained for ages. Brilliant addition to the living room!

What a clever piece! It’s mesmerising how these metal bars keep moving in such a smooth, perpetual manner. Adds a dash of scientific flair to my office, plus it’s quite the conversation starter.
