A museum grade decorative art object. Produced by BTS, this is the desktop version of the original Swinging Sticks kinetic desk top toy.

Featured in the movie Iron Man 2, The Swinging Sticks are patented and protected, this is the original and only official Swinging Sticks.  

Precision made process with aluminium arms, high grade bearings and a premium quality ABS plastic base. Each piece is inspected and tested by hand to insure it conforms to the their high standards. Swinging and flowing in perpetual motion, they seem to defy gravity. The sticks circle fluidly and create a relaxing and almost hypnotic effect. The aluminium arms seem to rotate in contradiction to the laws of physics, changing directions and speed for no apparent reason.

The Swinging Sticks device works by mimicking perpetual motion using electrical currents and magnetic fields. A key principle in physics states that moving electrons generates a magnetic field, this is what powers the sculpture. Check out a video of the original larger version below.  The design is sleek, beautiful and deceptively simple. The Swinging Sticks Desktop Toy will provide relaxing entertainment and be the centre of attention no matter where they are used. Powered by four AA batteries (nt included), you should get approximately 3 months continuous use. 

The Swinging Sticks Desktop Toy comes with a 2 year warranty for manufacturing faults and defects, please note that the smaller desktop version does have soft (but largely unnoticeable) clicks as the sticks whirl and turn.
