Frequently Asked Questions
How does a Newton’s cradle work?
When you lift and release an end ball, it strikes the row and its momentum and energy pass through the middle balls to the ball at the far end, which swings out. Lift two balls and two swing out on the other side.
How many balls does it have?
It has 5 balls, the classic arrangement for showing how momentum passes along the row.
How big is it and what is it made of?
It measures 13 cm x 17.5 cm x 11 cm and is made of ABS and steel, with a vintage look.
Who is it a good gift for?
It suits adults who like physics or classic desk ornaments. It works well as a Father’s Day present, a Secret Santa gift or a corporate gift for an office desk.

Newton's Cradle for Science Lovers
As astonishing as it is spellbinding, the pendulum is a truly iconic object of science. It owes its name to the great physicist Isaac Newton, father of classical mechanics and the theory of universal gravitation. Discover our many models of Newton's Cradle, each just as fascinating as the next, for an interior design that combines relaxation and scientific experimentation.Newton's Cradle related products

Looks lovely on the shelf but it’s a fair bit smaller than I’d pictured from the photos. Works fine, just wish I’d checked the dimensions properly before ordering.
Graham Pettifer –
parcel took nearly two weeks to arrive when the page said 3-5 days, and nobody told me about the delay. The cradle itself is decent, nicely finished and the balls swing well once you’ve levelled the base. Just a shame about the wait, as it was meant to be a birthday present and it turned up late.

Bought this for my desk at home and I keep catching myself fiddling with it during calls. You lift one ball, let go, and the same number pop out the other side while the middle ones barely budge. The momentum just passes straight along the line, which is so satisfying to watch. The brass-ish finish looks properly smart next to my books too, and my nephew spent a good twenty minutes trying to work out why it never seems to stop straight away.

Solid little piece, feels weighty and well made. Clicking is a touch louder than I expected but I’ve got used to it. Happy enough.

Got this for my grandson Alfie and his little face lit up. He’s been playing with it all afternoon. Lovely thing.
Jamie Fletcher –
Spot on. Looks cracking on the mantelpiece.

my daughter (aged 8) unwrapped it and immediately declared herself a physicist. She’s now lining up everything else in the house to see if it behaves the same way. It’s sturdy enough to survive her enthusiasm and honestly looks too nice to be stuck in a toy box, so it’s gone on the sideboard in the lounge.

Bought one for my granddaughter Esme and she grinned from ear to ear. Simple, smart and she loves it. Chuffed to bits.

bought this for my grandson Alfie who’s seven and he hasn’t left it alone since the postie dropped it off. Keeps pulling the end ball back and shouting “Nana, watch!” every single time. Looks lovely on his bookshelf too, so I’m chuffed to bits.
