An interactive science exhibit testing reaction time and reflexes. As a science museum exhibit manufacturer specializing in hands-on science exhibits and interactive learning stations, Zoomking designed this installation for children's museum exhibits, science center exhibits, and STEM education exhibits focused on experiential science education and visitor engagement.

Product Introduction:

"The Falling Stick" is an interactive testing exhibit focusing on human reaction speed and neural conduction mechanisms. The device consists of five graduated testing sticks, an electromagnetic release mechanism, indicator lights, and a high-sensitivity sensor, transforming the abstract concept of reaction time into intuitive scale readings.

Participants insert the testing sticks into the small holes at the top of the device, holding them at the starting position (0 cm). When the indicator light illuminates or a prompt sound is heard, the testing sticks suddenly fall freely. Participants must catch the falling sticks as quickly as possible. By observing the scale position of their hand when they catch the stick, they can directly read their reaction time—the lower the position, the longer the reaction time; the higher the position, the faster the reaction.

This simple yet classic test vividly reveals the relationship between neural conduction speed and hand-eye-brain coordination. This device is designed for science museums, human anatomy exhibitions, psychology labs, school health education centers, and sports science centers, allowing participants to gain a deeper understanding of their own physical functions through self-testing.
