Niels Bohr Atom Model Hanging Mobile - 9 Inches - Steel - Handmade in Denmark by Flensted

My science loving 13 year old son, who did a timeline about the discovery of atoms for school, thought this was the coolest thing ever. One has to be a little careful unpacking it so as not to bend the fragile wires. We found it looks best in a corner with a floor spotlight shining up on it, so the light bounces on the metal rings and gives the illusions that electrons are shooting around the proton. Lighting it from below also creates cool shadows on the ceiling. The air from a nearby heating vent keeps it in perpetual motion. I gave several of these as gifts to both adults and kids, and everyone loves them.

I will agree with past reviewers: it doesn't seem like there's a lot to this mobile. It's small, so keep that in mind. But building a mobile that is in slow, perpetual motion isn't easy and this mobile has a grace to it (and a nerd factor) that I feel justifies the price. It's a lovely piece of art that I'm happy to have in my home.

This is a great product and I'm very happy with it. It came very quickly, is beautiful and is lightweight enough to hang from a ceiling with just a thumbtack (no need to install a hook with a drywall anchor or anything). It's beautifully made and the string it hangs from is almost completely invisible so it really looks like the atom is suspended in space. Definitely recommend and will be looking for more products from this vendor!

I love this mobile: nice quality, finish and design. It was easier for my students to understand the "cloud of electrons" surrounding the nucleus. However, I believe it is overpriced.

The media could not be loaded. It's exquisite. It moves in a gentle breeze and one barely sees the string holding it together. I put it in front of the mirror over my dresser and it's wonderful to watch, especially at night with one of the dresser lights on. This is beautiful artwork.

I’m an energy healer and hung it in my treatment room for my patients to meditate with while receiving a treatment. Everyone loves it!

How is it possible that this came with a cardboard hanger? Am I missing something? There was no plastic hanger. Thread came around this cardboard hanger, please see attached picture. Of course it broke and fell. I was lucky it didn't get too tangked and was able to make a makeshift knot on my ceiling hook. But I am so, so disappointed. This costed 60 dollars. I've seen 5 dollar hangers with plastic hooks. This one should have a premium hanger for the price. I am writing to the manufacturer because this has to be a mistake from what I've read or simply this needs to be addressed.Edit:I contacted the manufacturer and they said this was the sellers fault. They said they must have sent me.an open box item. I don't know what to think of this, the cardboard hanger was Flensted branded. Either way, I am not happy. At all.

Elegant, inspiring, stimulating and therapeutic while gracefully and silently rotating. The diameter of the outer orbit is about 11" rather than 9" inches as described. Not a problem, but I wonder if mine was somehow stretched--and if I can squeeze it together. It's a great gift, especially for those who have taken a course in chemistry or physics.
