    I stumbled acrossed one of your videos the other day, and can't stop watching them. I loved science as a kid, but my high school teachers sucked the fun out of it with not wanting to help explain anything and just moving on. I love how you actually want to teach how these things are done, and explain everything in detail. It makes it so easy to understand. Keep doing everything you are doing, you're amazing.

    Love it! I'm working on a golf-ball version and the wave so far is not quite what it should be. Now I can at least check the pendulum lengths with a formula. I really like the use of hex nuts for weights. Their open shape gives the wave an even better visual effect, plus the whole structure will be a lot lighter and portable

    Really love the pendulum. I agree it might be a little hard to figure the numbers if you're very young but there are some young children that are gifted that could take this steps further. Have you thought about making it a continuous swinging pendulum by adding an electromagnet system to fluctuate during it swaying back and forth? That would be a great project.

  • @Devo491

    Finally could derive it by myself. It reveals that your K equals the number of periods performed by the longest pendula decreased by two units. The part in between the round brackets in the denominator of the formula could therefore also have been: N1 + n - 1 where N1 is the number of periods performed by the longest pendula.

    I had a brilliant idea to make this into an interesting art piece! I only end up making a small percentage of my "brilliant" ideas... so if someone beats me to it, no big deal... here it is: Instead of a regular pendulum on a string... it would be a rigid cross shape with a bearing in the center, where it is threaded on to the horizontal rod it swings on. There will be a ball or other interesting shape on the end of each cross segment, but only the ones facing the earth will be a heavy material... the others will be hollow or foam. So just like the pendulum demonstration each of the crosses is a little bit smaller than the next... they are still pendulums, they just have more stuff attached to look at and magnify the visual patterns... it will basically create 3 duplicate sets of objects moving in the air, the way these pendulums oriented towards the ground are. When I first thought of this, I thought it was amazing, then I thought maybe it's not... now I'm not sure... it's kinda cool. Right? What do you think?

    • @Nighthawkinlight
      @Nighthawkinlight  4 роки тому +1

      Some people have done bowling balls. You have to find the center of mass of your pendulums so it would be complicated to use steel rods.

    • @Ungtartog
      @Ungtartog 4 роки тому

      @@Nighthawkinlight As long as your arm shape is symmetrical, I think it would work... it would slow it down of course, because of the added friction and wind resistance... so you would not get as many swings out of it, but greased bearing should help. It is, obviously more complicated, but that's the point! XD

    Just wondering (although I'm sure trial and error will tell me as well), when calculating the pendulum length(s) do the calculated length(s) include whatever is used as the mass, or is the length just from attachment (pivot) point on the cross piece to where it attaches To the mass? If I'm assuming correctly, it won't make a noticeable difference, as long as it is done consistently

    Thank you for the beautiful demonstration and for providing great instructions including the formula for determining cord lengths.
    I saw another video with each pendulum being one of six colours in sequence (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple), and it looked really cool. I'm wondering if there's a reason six colours worked so well, or if any number of colours would produce as stunning patterns. Maybe I should test it out...

    Here's a quick "k" formula if you want to explore more deeply this intriguing world of pendulums: With your permission, Professor, of course ...
    If "g" = 9.8m/s/s, then: k = 0.498 T / (L)^1/2 - 2
    So, you can pick whatever T-max you wish and whatever length, and go straight away.
    By the way, if you pick "n" = 0 and then continue with negative "n" values, you can go backwards just the same: Try it! :D

    You don't go through the mathematical steps (or strategy) to find K. Since finding K is absolutely needed to apply this concept, it seems like it would be important to mention that instead of "simple algebra". A basic refresh on quadratic equations shows that solving for K in this case is not "simple". Calling it simple algebra is condescending. I would say that has an discouraging effect as a person could come away thinking "wow, I don't even know 'simple algebra, this must ALL be over my head".

    When you feel overwhelmed, like the pressure is too
    much, it's because you are stronger than you think.
    You haven't discovered all that's in you. You'll never
    how strong you really are, until you face pressure
    that you've never faced. It may seem unbearable, but
    the fact that God allowed it means that you can
    handle it.
    Pray this prayer from the bottom of your heart out loud to be saved
    Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I repent of my sins. I will worship you all the days of my life.I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior.I receive it and Believe it in
    Jesus Powerful Name, AMEN❗️
