A magnetic accelerator is a chain reaction device. It is built in a series of stages, each containing a magnet, a spacer, and a projectile.
This four stage magnetic accelerator assembles in minutes without tools or glue. It includes powerful rare-earth magnets, steel ball bearings, a 25cm (10") long firing trough, and all the hardware needed to build your own magnetic accelerator. You can even join more than one kit to multiply the effect! This kit is an ideal centerpiece for a science project on magnetism and kinetic energy.
To start the chain reaction, a steel ball is released, which accelerates towards the first stage magnet. Like billiard balls, when it strikes the magnet, its energy is transfered through the magnet and spacer and into the projectile which speeds off toward the next stage. The process repeats until the last projectile leaves the end of the device. The more stages an accelerator has, and the more powerful the magnets are at each stage, the faster the ball bearing will leave the final stage!

Fun toy

This is a fun toy. My 7 year old loves it -- but it is pretty much a one trick pony. You let go of the ball bearing, it smashes the next ball bearing, they all hit in sequence, then the one on the end flies off. The speed of the ball is not enough to hurt anyone (well, at least unless you are dumb enough to let it hit your tooth or eye or the like), but I would still supervise any child using it.
