Grand Illusions Pit and Pendulum 12 Creating Designs in Sand Reviews - Mesmerizing and addictive! More than an elegant desktop execu-toy (although it is that too!) The Pit and Pendulum demonstrates real science. -- Secured in its oak stand, the all metal pendulum converts kinetic energy into potential energy. The extremely fine sand (included) provides minimal friction allowing the pendulum to swing for extended periods of time. As the pendulum swings it gently "writes" ever changing geometic patterns in the sand. The patterns get bigger then smaller then bigger again as the arc of the pendulum also changes. -- Comes with a 12" black stand with bowl-type base, bag of sand, and instructions.

Sand Pendulum . I do like this sand pendulum, however, the angle of the "upright" holder isn't the right angle so it ends up stopping short and much of the outer area does not get used.
If it had only come with just another Tblsp-full or so of sand, and the upright angle was corrected, it would probably make fantastic designs. I'm still trying to play with it regardless of the bad angle and lack of sand. But unfortunately my family isn't interested in it at all as I thought they'd be. It comes with a pendulum point cover that's used to smooth out the sand. That's equivalent to using a paper towel to mop up a flood in the kitchen, per se. There should be a better tool to level the sand before using.Also, it only comes with assembly instructions and no booklet or printed paper that gives you suggestions on how to make certain designs.The concept is good but the same old design (pretty much every time), lack of the cool sand, lack of design directions as well as a leveling tool make this "okay".

Not the greatest..... . It's plastic. What can I say. The design is not well thought out. The top metal piece that goes in the grooves pops out easily if you touch it. The cost of these pit and pendulums today is exhorbanant! You can find better stuff....much less expensive. I would say, don't waste your time or money. Not worth it.

physics and geometry made fun . I got this for my grandson because we saw them at a ski resort. He and my daughter love watching the circles and ellipticals and yes, near squares. There were some for sale for no less than $[...] dollars and we felt this would be great for a 12 year old.
