    In this video I show my giant pendulum wave and talk about how it works. I built this as a physics demonstration for a kid's summer camp. This is a great project to show to large and small groups and provides lots of talking points about how math effects the real world.

    I would love to hear what it sounds like if each nut struck a note corresponding to the length of the string as it reached each apex. I imagine it coming together as the nuts sync up in groups of 2, then 3 then 4. Music is so mathmatical to begin with it might be pretty cool.... or it might just be a big mess!

      @@louf7178 Unless there is an actual draft in the room, air will cause mostly random errors that will usually cancel each other out. Of course these will eventually cause the whole thing to go out of sync unless it is placed in a vacuum chamber. An error in the length of the strings on the other hand will keep accumulating because the error is the same at all times. Eliminating this systematic error will allow the pendulums to stay in sync for much longer.
