The Gravity Ruler explains the relationship between distance and weight. By placing an item at one end of the ruler and bringing it into balance, one can measure the weight of an item in grams.
The gravity ruler is precisely engineered to have a shifted centre of balance. By cutting out material from one side of the ruler, we move the centre of balance to our advantage. We then use a scientific principle called "moments" to calculate the centre of balance if a weight is added to the end of the ruler. If you'd like to learn more about the science behind the Gravity Ruler, watch our video.
All our rulers are made in and around London. After they are laser cut, they are hand finished in our London studio, and screen printed by our friends at Luma.
