Cause and effect in motion.
A ball starts moving. One action sets off another, creating a chain of movements that is fascinating to watch and easy to follow. Hidden in this movement are ideas from classical mechanics – motion, force, energy, momentum and gravity.
Our rolling ball sculptures invite people to stop, watch and discover the science at work in every movement.
Rolling ball sculptures, made one at a time.
Each of our rolling ball sculptures – Newton Machines – is hand-crafted, and we are continually building new models. We also build custom Newton Machines around themes chosen by our clients, ranging from middle-school simple machines to the Big Bang and the evolution of life.
Complex in movement.
Robust in construction.
Our sculptures are complex and fascinating to watch. At the same time, they are stable, reliable and robust in everyday use. Our sculptures are made from mild steel and then electroplated. They do not require electricity, need very little maintenance, and can be used both indoors and outdoors.
