Who is this accelerator for?
Who is this accelerator for?
It's built for students, hobbyists, engineers, and anyone curious about electromagnetism. It's a genuinely working demonstration model, not just a display piece, so it's popular with physics teachers and makers alike.
How does the acceleration actually work?
How does the acceleration actually work?
Six coils are arranged around a circular track. As the magnetic ball passes each coil, it fires in sequence, pulling the ball forward and adding speed. It's the same core principle behind rail guns and particle accelerators, just scaled down and made safe for a desk.
Is it safe to run continuously?
Is it safe to run continuously?
Yes. It's designed for continuous demonstration use with 12 years and above recommended. It doesn't use any dangerous materials or hazardous components.
What is it made of?
What is it made of?
The base combines metal and acrylic with a stainless steel and plastic track, giving it a solid, precision-built feel rather than a flimsy toy feel.
Does it need batteries?
Does it need batteries?
No batteries needed - it runs on the included power cable, so it's always ready to demonstrate on your desk or in the classroom.
What if I'm not happy with my purchase?
What if I'm not happy with my purchase?
Try it for 30 days, and if you're not happy for any reason we'll refund you in full under our 30 day money back guarantee. Your purchase is completely risk free.
Watch Electromagnetism In Action
Six precision coils fire in sequence to accelerate a magnetic ball around the track, the same principle behind rail guns and particle accelerators. It's an oddly satisfying, endlessly watchable demonstration of real physics.
Built To Last, Not Just A Toy
Precision metal and acrylic construction give this accelerator a genuinely solid feel. It's a desk piece that looks as good as it works, whether it's sitting on a classroom shelf, a workshop bench, or your desk at home.
