the christmas bulbs!!!!!

I was exploring different possibilities of objects one could use instead of the metal swinging spheres used in the original corporate toy...as I wandered around the pound shop looking for inspiration...I came across these brilliantly brightly coloured ping pong balls... 
i threaded wire through them in order to make a loop which i could later attach some thread to.

i used thin wire...it was actually more fun threading this wire through the ping pong balls than playing with the actual final product!!

made a loop so the thread could be easily attached. (this image reminds me of the big multicoloured bulbs my dad sticks on the tree outside our house every year at christmas..which calls them"christmas lights?!?!"...i beg to differ!!)

"the christams BULBS!!!"

replacing the eggs with ping pong balls!!!


the eggs in the background and the new invention in the front!!!
This video is the only one I have at the moment...I will upload a better one when I get back into college on Monday...it shows the ping pong balls moving but doesn't do the whole "newtons cradle" notion any justice!!! It does work...I swear!!!!
