Perpetual Motion Kinetic Art Desk Toy - Science Decor for Home Office

Amazing science and magic demonstration. On/off switch is so well hidden that you can easily convince someone that you have magic powers.Seriously. Do not try and exploit people's gullibility into believing that you have the power of infinite energy. That only leads to the intellectual decay of the country. A harmless joke about how the moon landings could have been staged on earth got actually believed and has led us to a place where people would rather have polio than believe in vaccines.But it is a great demonstration of hidden energy.

The media could not be loaded. I would be able to look past seeing the glue where the metal attaches to the base, if only the item worked. Total piece of junk.

The media could not be loaded. Works. Needs better instructions but it does work. Pretty small but ok

I got this for my HighSchool science class and they loved it. It would be nice if it worked with more than one ball at a time but it is very cool.

Doesn’t work as promoted , even though battery is full the energy, the machine it doesn’t provide enough energy for balls to jump to the hole base, so balls drop everywhere but not in the hole base

The product material looks good, although the on/off button did not light up like the pictures show. The only way to know if it's on is to drop a ball or lift the unit up and check for a blue glow through the charging port on the underside. Unfortunately, after three or four cycles the ball jumps too far and bounces off the top platform. Looks like when the shot makes it close to the center hole the ball falls quickly with too much speed. Then the magnet propels it back up with too much velocity and it bounces off the platform. This might just be an issue with my item? I think it could be fixed by bending the loop to the side a bit so that the ball always hits the side of the platform and has to circle before dropping through the hole, but not worth trying and possibly breaking the item. So I just returned it. A slight redesign of the top platform and a slight offset to the loop would make this product function well.

It is an amazing “toy”. I will craft an analytic publishable article.

We plugged it up to charge and did everything we where supposed to but it did not have enough power to even get the metal ball back around. For a perpetual motion toy it is very disappointing and not worth the amount of money.
