MetMo Eddy

Electromagnetism in the palm of your hand, without the need to spend years training as a Jedi! Perfectly palm sized, Eddy is designed to be held while you do other things - like command your starship, perhaps? 

Line your pockets with copper and cause metallic jealousy wherever you go. A fully contained capsule of magnetic joy that’s ready to pop in your pocket for on the go electromagnetic fun. Just avoid electron microscopes on your travels. 

Designed so you can fiddle and interact with Eddy currents no matter where you are. You’re not aimlessly fidgeting, you’re doing science right now! 

Watch the ball fall in slow motion until it nears the end of the tube, where it settles in silence. Flip and repeat to take a break from the speed, and focus on something that moves slower in an ever faster world. A totally silent mechanism is ideal for anyone working in, well, silence! The Pope maybe? No sanctums will be disturbed while you explore induced magnetic fields.

Powered by the Eddy braking effect, this copper tube is shaped for the perfect one-handed flick-and-drop rotation. Flip and repeat, designed for your fingers to easily rotate over and over again for unending fidgeting fun. Watch as the ball silently drops to the bottom, then repeat… and repeat… it’s a motion that doesn’t get old.

Live life on the wild side and let your tube breathe. The end caps are designed to be removed, so untwist for some unconfined fun! Drop the ball through the centre and watch as it defies gravity until the last. Or you can go rogue and keep one cap in place for some whacky moves! It’s the most fun you can have with a tube and a ball on your desk… 

Precision bored to bring the copper in near-contact with the magnet without ever touching, creating the most efficient eddy and the smoothest motion. No tube has ever seen such exacting precision; you’ll want to watch it all day long!

A partially exposed ball encapsulated in copper, so you can watch the effects of the eddy currents in real time. Protect the fragile magnet from damage while you watch it slowly fall(and avoid collecting any scrap metal). 

This passivation process adds a surface layer to the copper that will keep it looking bright and fresh, so it’ll retain that ‘just machined’ finish for longer! No need to worry about polishing your tubes. It’s passive aggressive! 

Copper that’s meant to be touched. A brushed centre piece with tactile knurled ends that’s a joy to hold. This is no old copper pipe, Eddy is meant to be handled. Excellently hardwearing, endlessly polishable, and exceedingly shiny, the Eddy will age beautifully with time and will stay looking great on your desk for years to come.

Our crystalline alloy neodymium sphere puts this rare-earth metal right on your desk in the form of a powerful magnet, so you can create an extraordinary desk and wow passers-by with the magic of unpaired electrons.

Eddy Coupling let’s you connect infinite Eddys together so you can experiment with a longer drop distance. Watch as the magnet continually falls through the different densities of copper as it slows down and speeds up past the windows. 

Made from a solid billet of copper, Eddy is 110.7 Grams(3.oz) of precision machined metal. Created by cutting-edge machines, every surface and edge is perfectly machined to extremely high tolerances to give you the smoothest, most precise electromagnetic eddy instrument in the world. 

An original design thought up in the MetMo skunkworks, Eddy has been developed and engineered in our workshop here in the UK.Hand finished by us to ensure the best quality,you can’t get physics like this anywhere else.
