Product Description: The Swinging Sticks
The Swinging Sticks, an elegant and seemingly simple structure, sparks curiosity in those who encounter it - how does it work? Meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans, the kinetic sculpture features calibrated weights and magnets in the arms that result in endless unpredictable movements. While it may appear straightforward to construct, a deep understanding of science, mathematics, and physics is required to comprehend its intricate workings.
How The Swinging Sticks Works
The Swinging Sticks operates by emulating perpetual motion devices, creating an illusion driven by electric current and electromagnetic fields. According to current physics, achieving a true perpetual motion machine with modern technology is deemed impossible. However, the principle that moving electrons produce magnetic fields is a key component in the functioning of this sculpture. The generated magnetic field serves as the driving force behind its mesmerizing movement.
Equipped with sensitive sensors, The Swinging Sticks can perform various functions. Two sensors measure the speed of the rotating rod, while the middle electric coil adjusts the speed based on readings from these sensors. Additionally, a powerful neodymium magnet integrated into the arm interacts with the magnetic field generated by the electric coil, resulting in the captivating and chaotic motion.
Precision Engineering and Quality Components
In the realm of engineering, tolerance refers to the allowable margin of error. The Swinging Sticks sculpture demands precise components engineered to tight tolerances to meet strict quality standards. Each sculpture undergoes a rigorous 4-7 day final quality control test to ensure flawless performance.
Crafted from the finest aluminum available, the extruded tubes guarantee perfectly round walls with consistent thickness, allowing for a balanced and fluid motion. The integration of high-quality bearings in the tube’s hub ensures smooth functioning, with each hub bearing meticulously CNC’d to provide optimal resistance.
Unique Serial Numbers and Packaging
Every product boasts a laser etched unique serial number, enabling the tracking of its movement and lifecycle to prevent counterfeits. Triple-boxed packaging comprising an outer cardboard box, display box, and molded inner form ensures that each product arrives in pristine condition.
Customer Reviews and Pricing
The Swinging Sticks has garnered outstanding reviews from satisfied customers and is available in various color options with a consistent price of $98.00.
