Atom Kinetic Mobile

The molecularly arranged spheres of this Atom Kinetic Mobile turn gracefully while the central pendulum swings. The movement is continuous and not comprehensible at first glance.

The secret lies in the base: a battery-powered motor drives a strong magnet, which in turn exerts a force on the pendulum, which in turn contains magnets that influence the movement of the three ball-covered arms.

Even if you know exactly how it works, the perpetual, rhythmic movement and the gravity-defying structure are fascinating.

Features:

• Fascinating 'perpetual motion' mobile
• Trios of spheres turn randomly as the large pendulum swings
• Simple to assemble components
• Requires 1 x '9V' batteries
• Dimensions: 19 x 30 x 10 cm
