Ownership verified by DX looks great
Posted by juliensurebay on 7/4/2009
Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

Price: starstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstar
Build Quality: star
Usefulness: starstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstar

Pros: it's beautiful, it's brilliant, is not very big but it catches the eye easily. Everyone wants to touch.

Cons: everything is in plastic or almost, the quality is poor, it should be up even, the beads are very small and should not be expected to have found the formula for perpetual motion because the motion does not exceed the 20 trips.

Other Thoughts: the strings are very thin and wrapped in polystyrene for transport

Bottomline: if you do not play with then it is surely one of the most beautiful newton pendulum as it will greatly shines despite its manufacture plastics.

Ownership verified by DX Not great

Overall Rating: starstarstar

Pros: It looks cute.

Cons: Number one it is not worth the price. It is made of very cheap materials. Everything is plastic except the balls. The 'wire' holding the balls is identical to fishing line- so not very sturdy.
The balls are very small. About 25% smaller than a standard small marble. My balls dont actually line up very well so when they hit they go in every direction.
I ended up breaking one of the strings because it was packaged so strangely. The entire unit was incased in styrofome so you had to break off little chunks to free the strings.
The price certainly doesnt make the awful quality. I would put it more around 3$.

Other Thoughts: I wouldn't reccomend it.

Bottomline: Not worth it
