Kinetic Energy Sculpture - Original Full Size Version (Bamboo/Silver)

This was one of those items that went in and out of my shopping cart over the course of a month before I finally bought it.As far as motion sculptures go, this one is incredibly captivating in its simplicity. There's not much to it when it comes out of the box and goes on your desk or shelf. Clean lines and nearly silent motion. I've had it for months now, and still find it interesting to watch. I always hope it will get stuck upright, but alas, gravity finds a way.The price point still seems insanely high for what you're getting, but that's true broadly speaking for unique decorations. With the near silent operation and long battery life (still haven't changed the batteries after a couple months) it's clear there's some care involved in its construction.

nice to watch when you're super bored. or to see over there a movin for some reason.

This is my second one. First one bought back in 2013 or so - lasted 5 years before it gave up. This one, bought in 2018 just died a couple of weeks ago. Not sure what the fault is, it's been running the whole time, never jostled or dropped so no loose wires or anything. I'm guessing the magnet simply runs out of juice, even with new high end batteries it moves for a minute or so when started, then dies.Overall, I love it. Which is why after buying 2 of these 300$ items over the last 7 or so years and feeling cheated, I still have given it a 3 star. Just know that this will fail eventually

I would not have purchased something like this (a desk ornament in my opinion) for that much money… but my young adult son absolutely wanted it.. was the only thing he wanted for Christmas and he has been in love with it ever since! It is a soothing and elegant gift.

The price is absurd if you place it in the context of utility because it doesn't really have any. Utility is not the purpose here. This is not an appliance, it is a beautiful piece of kinetic art. It looks great, grabs the attention of guests, and it runs for months on the same set of batteries. I've paid more for paintings that I enjoyed less. If you think this sculpture is a good piece of art, the price will be worth it. If it doesn't suit your tastes, or you don't believe in paying for art, it's not for you. This is, however, my favorite piece of art in my house.

I bought the big one and it's not big at all. Please do not waste your money. It's not even cool. ALOT better products out there.

I have kind of an industrial theme going on in my living room. Large portrait on the wall behind the couch of old factory machinery and so forth. I needed something to display in this backlit cubby space in the wall over the fireplace mantle and realized one of these would fit in there perfectly.It’s very cool to watch - and everyone who visits comments on it. Most amazing part is how long it. An run on a set of batteries.Only reason I can’t give 5 stars is it lacks a battery lid on the bottom. Flip it over and the AA batteries are right there. That’s ok but it just looks cheap on something that’s otherwise so nicely designed.

There's this odd connection to the unpredictability of this sculpture and the stock market. It almost seems to sync perfectly with short term volatility and has led to some seriously considerable moves leading to secured profits. I am by NO means saying this works for everyone, but it definitely helps. I recommend this product.
