Astroblaster
The Astroblaster is a very unique educational toy developed in America by an Astrophysicist. It consists of 4 super bouncey rubber balls and a plastic rod. The rod is secured into the centre of the biggest ball, and is long enough to take three others balls, each slightly smaller in size. The idea is that when all 4 balls are on the rod, the AstroBlaster is dropped, and the impact with the ground spreads through the different size balls causing the smallest ball to “blast off” at high speed into the air achieving heights of over 5 times the drop height!
To operate the AstroBlaster:
• Hold the tip of the Astroblaster rod that extends through the smallest ball.
• Hold away from the body at arms length.
• Release when the Astroblaster is hanging straight down.
• The Astroblaster can reach heights of over 5 times the drop height!The pack contains an extra 2 balls just in case the top ball blasts off and is lost. A simple but very enjoyable educational toy…happy blasting!
