A pendulum walking on kinetic energy with solar system shapes!

The solar system pendulum is a beautiful, elegant and educational way to introduce students to the scale of our solar system. The pendulum oscillates according to Newton's law of gravitation and, as it oscillates, it allows the viewer to see the relative distances and sizes of the planets.

An object that is as captivating as it is recreational, this battery-powered pendulum is activated by rolling the cone attached to the bottom of the base, it allows the metal rings to spin without interruption.

As you can see, it will bevery popular with young and old alike.

Ryan Q. ★★★★★

I hung this above my desk and the planets keep their orbit rhythm all day—the kinetic energy transfer is surprisingly smooth for such a compact piece. The scale is clearly laid out, which made explaining the solar system to my nephew way easier than any diagram.

Robert N. ★★★★★

The way each planet swings and transfers momentum in sequence is oddly mesmerizing—I've caught myself just watching it cycle for minutes. It's genuinely educational too, since the size differences between the spheres make the scale of the solar system surprisingly tangible. My desk feels way more in
