The Boingie comprises a wobbly spring attached to a rock base. A stainless ball is attached to the end of the spring. The Boingie is specifically designed with very small friction losses, and so wobbles for a long time. 2-4 minutes of movement is typical.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe motion is lazy, slow and perfectly smooth. It bounces and rotates and sometimes tracks a figure 8 path. Very entertaining to watch, but people struggle to figure out why. I think the perfectly smooth movement is an important feature that attracts the eye. To some, the boingie appears to be alive.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe rock base is marble. The spring and ball are stainless steel, and are attach by lead-free tin-silver solder. The ball will never come off. The ball is made of 316 stainless (the most corrosion resistant type of stainless), and is highly polished by hand to a mirror finish. The ball sparkles in bright light.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe bottom of the marble base is ground flat with diamond tools.
