Each ball hangs on a pair of fine lines drawn up to the two top rails, so the row stays straight and every ball meets its neighbour squarely. Lift the end ball, let it go, and the click travels through the row to send the ball at the far end swinging out, then back again, in a steady rhythm that is hard to stop watching. It stands 20cm high, 20cm wide and 15cm deep, a compact size that settles on a desk without crowding it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt belongs on a desk at home or at work, on a study shelf or beside a reading chair, anywhere a few seconds of quiet motion makes a welcome pause in the day. The black base and silver frame sit with dark wood, glass and grey tones, and the clean lines suit a modern or a traditional room alike. Because it is freestanding, it needs no wall and no fixing; set it on any flat, level surface and it is ready to go. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who likes a classic desk piece to reach for while thinking things through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame is made up of two slender arches rising from a rectangular base that keeps the piece steady while the balls swing, and the plated finish gives frame and balls their bright, reflective shine. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and handle the frame gently so the fine lines keep their spacing, lifting it by the base whenever you move it. Give it room to swing clear of pen pots and papers, then set it beside a notebook and a favourite mug for a desk you will want to sit at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSilver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.767kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is this Newton's cradle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt stands 20cm high, 20cm wide and 15cm deep, a compact size that sits comfortably on most desks and shelves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many balls does the Newton's cradle have?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt has five shiny silver balls hung in a single row, each on a pair of fine lines running up to the twin frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colour is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame and the balls have a bright silver plated finish, and the whole piece stands on a plain black base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it need fixing to a wall?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, it is freestanding on its own base, so it simply sits on a flat, level surface such as a desk or shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I look after it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDust it with a soft dry cloth, handle the frame gently so the fine lines keep their spacing, and lift it by the base to move it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it make a good gift?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who enjoys a classic desk piece, and its silver and black look suits a home or an office.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harvey Makin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53457428939019,"sku":"HM737","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/hm737_01.jpg?v=1792166841","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/swinging-five-ball-newtons-cradle-with-black-base-silver","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
