Kinetic Energy Sculpture - Desktop Toy (Black/Gold)

Product Description The Swinging Sticks

The Swinging Sticks, with its elegant and seemingly simplistic design, captures the curiosity of onlookers - how does it operate? Crafted meticulously by skilled artisans, the kinetic sculpture features weights and magnets in its arms that are precisely calibrated to create an endless and unpredictable movement. While it may appear simple to construct, a deep understanding of science, mathematics, and physics is required to comprehend its intricate workings.

How The Swinging Sticks Works

Functioning by mimicking perpetual motion devices, The Swinging Sticks is essentially an illusion driven by electric current and electromagnetic fields. Despite the belief in modern physics that true perpetual motion machines are unattainable through current technology, the sculpture harnesses one of physics' fundamental principles - the generation of magnetic fields by moving electrons, which propels the entire structure forward.

Equipped with sensitive sensors, The Swinging Sticks utilizes two sensors to gauge the speed of the rotating rod. The central electric coil adjusts the speed based on the data from the sensors, facilitating a faster or slower motion. The arms of the sculpture harbor neodymium magnets that interact with the magnetic field generated by the electric coil, helping to enhance the chaotic and unpredictable movement.

Precision Engineered to Extremely Tight Tolerances

Tolerances, the permissible margin of error in engineering, play a vital role in crafting The Swinging Sticks. Each component of the sculpture is engineered with precision to tight tolerances to meet rigorous quality standards. Every piece undergoes a meticulous quality control test lasting 4-7 days to ensure flawless performance.

The high-quality aluminum tubes are extruded from premium aluminum, guaranteeing perfectly round walls with consistent thickness for a balanced and fluid motion. Symmetrical tube walls allow for optimal resistance when inserting the bearing hub down the tube shaft. Furthermore, long-lasting, high-quality bearings are seamlessly integrated into the hub bearings for a smooth operation.

Unique Serial Numbers

Every product features a laser-etched unique serial number to track the product’s movement and life cycle, preventing counterfeit products and ensuring authenticity.

Durable Packaging

The Swinging Sticks are triple-boxed for protection, including a sturdy outer cardboard box, an attractive display box, and a molded inner form, ensuring that the product arrives in pristine condition.

Quality Components

Crafted entirely by hand, each Swinging Sticks unit undergoes meticulous assembly by skilled craftsmen, requiring several hours of work to ensure precision, balance, and flawless performance.
