Newton's Cradle
It's an irresistible object, no one can help but push the spheres when they see it!
This project is not only a timeless icon, but it visually demonstrates the principles of conservation of energy and linear momentum, transforming complex concepts into a tangible experience. It is also ideal for introducing children and adults to science in a fun way.
The oscillating spheres create a relaxing and satisfying effect, perfect for reducing stress or as a dynamic teaching tool.
The project is very simple, featuring a load-bearing structure, 5 spheres suspended with original LEGO strings and a stable base.
But do you know what this object demonstrates? By hitting a sphere, energy is transferred through the others, simulating perpetual motion until friction stops it. Here is the magic! Complex, but simple...
A LEGO Newton's Cradle set combines science and art with the play factor!
