It ticks backwards and forwards in a constant motion with 6 or 7 circular silver balls knocking back and forth into each other, what is the name of such an object as i really want one??
Thanks

It's called a "Newton's Cradle is" and it's a device that demonstrates conservation of momentum and energy. It is constructed from a series of pendulums (usually 5) abutting one another. Each pendulum is attached to a frame by two strings of equal length angled away from each other. This string arrangement restricts the pendulums' movements to the same plane.

At this point I'd just like to congratulate the person who thinks you can buy a perpetual motion machine at Target. Seriously, you deserve some kind of award coz I nearly just peed my pants.
*sigh*
Anyway, what was the question again?

I think they call them 'perpetual motion' machines or something like that. Make sure you buy a high quality one. I bought mine at Target and it only goes back and forth a few times before it gives up.

Spiritually speaking, it truly is my energetic-hood. My ipod's call is Maximus. I somewhat have a cactus, his call is Pokey. i might want to flow on... yet i might want to opt to proceed being well-called particularly of a common man or woman in the international.
