Naef Sand Pendulum

“A quiet object in loud times”. The Naef Sand Pendulum is a fascinating physics phenomenon, just a gentle push is enough to set this spectacle in motion. This precision engineered desk toy and home decoration consists of a pointed pendulum that hangs from a stainless steel frame, with quartz sand in a metal pan at the bottom. Silently, this executive toy pendulum traces elliptical tracks in the fine sand below, that become smaller and narrower until the pendulum swings in the other direction. This creates overlapping lines that form beautiful geometric patterns, enchanting you as you watch it glide smoothly through the sand. 

The oscillating motion of a pendulum has captured the interest of mathematicians and scientists for centuries. Crafted with extreme precision, this Sand Pendulum from Naef will add interest to any desk, office, or home. Experiment with the relaxing appeal of this pendulum, and watch as it creates ever-changing patterns when different forces are applied.
