I love walking, whether in the country or the city, but I must admit that it frustrates me sometimes to have to move at the constrained pace of an urban crowd. And here’s a strange thing: I find ...
For this latest research, published in Nature Scientific Reports, the two separate pendulums took 12 hours to synchronize in opposition – and only if their swing rates were out of sync by no ...
The innovative device features four robotic pendulums, each housing an eleven string harp. Hanging 20 feet above ground, the pendulums slowly swing back and forth whilst communicating with a ...
For this project I show how to make make a pendulum wave, an interesting science/physics experiment where a series of pendulums is measured so that each one moves slightly faster than the one ...
A pendulums can be made out of pretty much anything — it's just a small weighted object on a string or chain. My first time picking up a pendulum was the first time I felt a magnetic pull to an ...
