The Geek Group's World's Largest Newton's Cradle

[danbrit]

so random idea build the same thing with metal balls and run high voltage true  so you get sparks between them

[valerie]

At rest, for the best transfer of energy, should the balls be touching or should they have a slight space between them? Does it make a difference?

[nelsonhays]

You got one thing right. These guys are some serious geeks.

100% love 80/20. At a previous job we used it for all sorts of industrial applications. I also have plans to make a desk and and entertainment center. Also at about 5:18 ... "....thats what she said"

When viewing a Newton's Cradle online, 5 balls seems to be the standard.
Is there a optimum outcome to get the maximum energy and extended time out of a Newton's Cradle?

[ThatComputerguy]

This is proof that geeks do have balls

[ryanafordable]

myth busters one is bigger but less balls

[distractedninjya]

Darwin Award for death by Newton's cradle?

[avialexander]

If you are going to travel with it, do you have extra balls? I remember you saying something about bowling balls liking to shatter. :P

[Tnmy]

I wish I had a newtons cradle... Or even tried

[liteX]

It's sad that i LOL'ed at the part when he was in between the balls and said "imagine if i had went like this" .. loling at science jokes ugh..
