Description

When coins are dropped from launching ramps, they begin spinning tangent to the curved surface, traveling in a circular motion. As the coins spin into the well, their rotational velocity greatly increases. Use the Vortx as a bank for your loose change or teach a Super! Wow! Neat!® science lesson. Great for teaching gyroscopic motion, rotational energy, law of conservation of energy, etc. 38 cm (15") high, 24 cm (9.5") diameter. Can be used with the included reservoir or attached to a 5-gallon water jug.

Fun

Originally bought it with the idea, to collect entry fees. But was so much fun for me to play with, getting coins to spin in opposite directions. Had some friends with kids over today and they could not get enough, playing with it, coins all over the floor..... just fun, great design !!!

My 6yr old autistic son loves this toy. It kept him entertained for over an hour. He gets so excited watching the coins spin. Wish there was a bigger one so the spin can be a little longer but would definitely recommend it.

Awesome therapy motivator

The Vortx combined with magnetic chips and magnets has become the most requested activity in my speech therapy sessions. They earn chips for attempts and then get to use the vortx and magnets. They use up the chips and we start all over again! I bought one for graduate student who just finished his masters and he was so excited! I was so happy to find it here on your website (better than Amazon, FYI).

Fun classroom toy

Jan 28, 2013

I knew this was going to be a hit since my kids always want to do the penny vortices at the mall. The kids in my daughter's Kindgergarten love this. They roll marbles, coins, etc. on it. It is a simple and neat way to observe physical forces on a beginner level.
