Kinetic Light Newton’s Cradle delivers some light up goodness to your desk

kinetic-light-newtonIsaac Newton is definitely one of the more notable thinkers in the history of mankind, where his Newtonian laws continue to be studied and applied even until this day. Well, I am quite sure that many of us, when we were younger, were fascinated by gizmos on certain mahogany desks that did play out Newtonian physics, such as the Newton Cradle. However, the folks over at Thinkgeek decided to bring things to the next level with the introduction of the $49.99 Kinetic Light Newton’s Cradle.

The name of this particular accessory says it all – the Kinetic Light Newton’s Cradle is a futuristic take on this classic desk accessory, where each glass sphere would sport bright, multicolor LEDs. Specially designed and manufactured by Thinkgeek, it is the ideal tool to lose yourself entirely especially when you have had plenty of work and are not quite able to figure out how to handle the accumulated stress. The lights on this advanced Newton’s Cradle will react based on their position, where starting a kinetic chain reaction with one ball will let you observe how the others change color in response. The half dozen AA batteries ought to be able to power the shebang for approximately 13 hours of non-stop use.

Kinetic Light Newton’s Cradle adds a new twist to an old classic

kinetic-light-newtons-cradleWhen I was a kid, there was a number of kinetic sculptures that always caught my attention at shopping malls, and one of the classic ones was the kinetic ball cradle where one ball would send forth energy from one end to the other, using perpetual motion to go tick-tock tick-tock for what seemed to be forever (to a kid back then, anyways), eventually arriving at a stop because it loses a wee bit of momentum with each passing moment due to friction in the air. Well, the folks over at Thinkgeek have delivered a new twist to an old classic in the form of the $49.99 Kinetic Light Newton’s Cradle.

This is a futuristic take on classic desk accessory, where the Kinetic Light Newton’s Cradle would feature bright, multicolor LEDs in each glass sphere. I would assume that if you enjoy a tipple or two after office hours while still at your cubicle, the Kinetic Light Newton’s Cradle would end up with an even more hypnotic value to you and your like minded colleagues. The lights will react based on their position, and you will need to see it or believe it. There is also the option to be more zen, as you set the LEDs to a single color, while watching the light fade as they swing back and forth.
