So this thingamabob is actually called a "Newton's Cradle" and it's designed to demonstrate the conservation of energy and momentum. Since the late 1960s, this device has become a popular "Executive Toy." It was supposedly created by English actor Simon Preeble who made a wooden toy version and sold it to Harrod's of London, while in the US, Marius J. Morin patented the popular toy version with the chrome frame.
