The Fun Fly Stick is an ingenious battery operated static electricity generator that allows you to float tinsel shapes on a cloud of electrons. Press the button on the Fun Fly Stick for a few seconds to generate a static charge. Drop the tinsel shape onto the stick to quickly transfer the negative charge to the tinsel. Since like charges repel each other, the negatively charged tinsel shape floats above the negatively charged stick. The learning curve is about two minutes and you're ready to amaze everyone with the Fun Fly Stick. Recommended for children ages 5 and up.

How does it work?

Press the button on the Fun Fly Stick for a few seconds to generate a negative static charge. Drop the tinsel shape onto the stick to quickly transfer the negative charge to the tinsel. Since like charges repel each other, the negatively charged tinsel shape floats above the negatively charged stick. If you want to impress someone with your newly acquired knowledge, just tell them that the Fun Fly Stick is a demonstration of "electrostatic propulsion and the repulsion of like charges." Okay, if you really want to impress someone, just make the shapes float!

this experiment was a big hit during practice and everyone was having fun w/ it but come time of party (7th bday Mad Science) it lasted about all of 15 min. my daughter's friends (all girls) descended on it and shreds of mylar and a lightly buzzing stick was all that remained. it was a hit while it did last but i think it didn't have much of a chance. too bad because my son would've loved to play w/ it at home (if it made it.) oh well.

It broke

Well I got it for Christmas and I was so excited at first. Then once I got it home to my mom's home I got it out to show my mom and it stopped working. It was still making a noise but it didn't do anything it was like it stopped making electrons but it was still doing something. The sphere wasn't expanding like it should or anything. Also the shapes got all tangled up. ** Emily, our customer service team will be contacting you to replace your broken Fun Fly Stick at no charge.

Gave these to my 10 and 14 year old sons for Hanukkah and they haven't stopped playing with them. Very ingenious, non-stop fun. Worth the price. Wish I could afford to get them for my 5 nephews and niece.

Really Great Science Toy!

I love this "minature" Van de Graff! Keeping the tinsel afloat is lots of fun... try it with more than one Fun Fly Stick and you get a cool juggling trick!
