About Magnetic Mayhem

Similar to the toy called Newton's Cradle, Magnetic Mayhem (for ages 6 -106) demonstrates momentum and the transfer of energy, but unlike Newton's Cradle, Magnetic Mayhem is unpredictable, and does much more than just swing. Once engaged, the magnets can bounce chaotically back and forth or spin fiercely in one direction, only to unexpectedly reverse direction, and can actually speed up when the energy of two or more magnets is transferred into one! As momentum is transferred from one magnet to the next, there is very little energy lost because there is actually no physical contact, as each individual magnet bounces off the opposing magnetic field of the approaching magnet! Magnetic Mayhem can be used in either a vertical or horizontal position, each position exhibiting its own unique principles and pattern of motion, and can even give the illusion of magnets passing by or through stationary magnets.  Experience the educational desktop toy that demonstrates physics in action, providing stress relief and endless entertainment without batteries. You will find it hard to resist the fun of setting it in motion! Magnetic Mayhem is perfect for home, office, or as a gift.
