[Stephen Hobley] has been experimenting with an electromagnetic pendulum in order to build himself a clock. Through the course of his experiments, he has learned quite a bit about how pendulums ...

In this feature, you'll get a sampling of Galileo's thought experiments and conduct virtual versions of his experiments, including those using an inclined plane and a pendulum.

A strong permanent magnet acts as a simple pendulum, swinging back and forth while hanging from strings. A copper plate underneath the magnet can be moved up to tune the eddy current damping. Swing ...

(3) By pendulum experiments, which have indicated a gradual increase of the force of gravity from the equator towards the poles.

A ball is suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. The length of the pendulum is adjustable. For small amplitude, the motion of the pendulum as a function of time is approximately simple ...

Abstracts of the Papers Printed in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, Vol. 2 (1815 - 1830), pp. 329-331 (3 pages) ...

The same technique also works here on Earth, and [Brick Experiment Channel] decided to build one out of LEGO to control an inverted pendulum. The initial design using a small LEGO wheel on an ...

In the lab situated at the CSD, the apparatus is connected through motors and sensors. “In the case of a simple pendulum, our lab allows students to understand what the time period is (the time ...
