Sensomotoric Objects
On The Trail Of Phenomena

Floor-standing device with foundation anchor

A snowball thrown against a wall sticks to it. A ball bounces back. Likewise does a hardened steel ball, provided that the wall has approximately the same hardness as the ball and the steel ball. The property that makes the ball bounce back is called "elasticity". The snowball doesn't have it. An object is elastic when it returns to its original shape after being forcibly deformed.

With the Momentum Ball Row, a ball is hit first. This triggers its neighbour, who in turn passes on the impulse. The impulse continues through all the balls, up to the last one, which strikes almost as far as the first one was hit. When falling back, the row of balls is pushed back in the other direction. This process is repeated until the energy is used up and converted into heat. Instead of one, you can also deflect several outer balls at the same time or at intervals.
