Pepper Potts' desk toy
"The Swinging Sticks" made it's first mainstream debut in 2010 when the director of Marvel's Iron Man 2 decided to use them in a scene between Pepper Potts and Tony Stark in the film. While in Taiwan, the director discovered "The Swinging Sticks" in a local store. Intrigued by the product, he decided to take it back to the United States and use it in his film Iron Man 2.
The Swinging Sticks are now being displayed in art galleries, stores, hotels and offices around the world, and have been a staple of the Hacksmith's lab for the past decade.
I need one
After seeing it for the first time in Iron Man 2, the Hacksmith knew he needed one for his office.
Back then they were hard to find, super expensive, and it took months to receive; which is why he's super excited to partner with the Swinging Sticks as a distributor to share them with the world from Hacksmith.store
Beauty in motion
Each gentle sway and rhythmic oscillation promotes a sense of harmony, making it the perfect addition to spaces where creativity and tranquility are cherished. This continuous movement is not just a technical achievement; it's a hallmark of ingenuity that transforms kinetic art into an immersive experience, inviting you to pause, breathe, and appreciate the beauty of motion.
The Science
After all, any Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic...
The hidden electromagnetic arrangement inside the base provides just enough magnetic force for continuous, but random swinging of the sticks.
With AA batteries lasting nearly a year, any passerby or guest will be certain you've somehow captured perpetual motion.
