{"product_id":"mini-newtons-cradle-desk-toy","title":"Mini Newton's Cradle Desk Toy in Steel","description":"\u003cp\u003eA desk toy earns its footprint or it turns into a dust trap, and most of them stop moving about four seconds after you touch them. This one is a steel Newton's cradle, 3.5 in (9 cm) across, where the end ball hands its momentum down the line and gets it back again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel balls on a steel frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.5 x 3 x 3.5 in (9 x 7.5 x 9 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift an end ball about 60 degrees off center and let it go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall enough to sit beside a monitor stand rather than in front of it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.5 x 3 x 3.5 in (9 x 7.5 x 9 cm), roughly the footprint of a coffee mug. That is the whole appeal of a small one: it fits in the gap on a desk that is already full, next to the pen cup rather than instead of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt demonstrates momentum, it does not defeat friction. The swing decays, the balls drift out of line after a minute or two, and you reset it with one finger. It also clacks, which is the point at your own desk and considerably less charming two feet from a colleague.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HollowMade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58841260556636,"sku":"24754559-mini-size","price":26.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1049\/3041\/0844\/files\/2_60cf246d-ca68-4d3c-8e08-1422c36b09ac.jpg?v=1787833109","url":"https:\/\/shophollowmade.com\/products\/mini-newtons-cradle-desk-toy","provider":"HollowMade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
