- Where in Houston can you see the Earth’s rotation in action? Hidden in plain sight at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, Foucault’s Pendulum mesmerizes visitors, though they often don’t understand its significance.
While the pendulum itself is stationary, its bob knocks down a circle of pins throughout the day due to how quickly the Earth is spinning underneath.

Freemason trickery. 😂
One of the greatest inventions mankind has ever produced.
It's a pallor trick
How stupid to prove the spin with this motorized device. Why don’t the controllers have a live feed of the earth spinning from a satellite. Because it doesn’t spin and it’s not a sphere.
We measure earth rotation using fiber-optic gyroscopes tens of thousands of times a day worldwide.
There is no motor in this device, been to several of them, but it does take understanding basic physics and use of one's brain. Flerfs are simple people without these basic talents.
Love it 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼🌏🌍🌎👁️☀️
I’m not a flerfer, but will that thing not only work if it’s position is at the poles??
This doesn't make any sense to me in a play like Texas, maybe the north or south poles
If the earth is spinning 😂😂 under the pendulum lmao, that means the building the pendulum is attached on is spinning too, making them all into an enclosed system, therefore the pendulum is not independent of the earth spin to show the spin, it is all part of it the building included. This is a bunch of crap, the earth is perfectly stationary. Believe your own senses people dont get fed lies.
Fiber-optic gyroscopes prove you wrong
The very long cable and the weight of the ball at the end as well as the basic laws of physics and the momentum isolate it from the fixed closed system you are claiming.
Obvious you have never looked through a telescope.
great
They don't work
Lol earth spin
Proof of magnetism
aha and why does it rotate
Its pretty clear that you do not understand what magnetism is or how it works. Brass (what this is made of) is NOT magnetic, so magnetism would have no affect on the pendulum.
@@weschiltonSo you were part of the team that put this together and know for fact it's pure brass?
@@jamesvega8676 It has an iron core tending towards the magnetic meridian, a small electromagnetic ferromagnet which occasionally gives a push to make the pendulum swing indefinitely, a so-called Charron ring to eliminate the non-uniform variances in the plane of oscillation and last but not least, no one has considered that in physics a ball tends most of all to produce a circular motion, the weight of the ball makes a difference too and now tell the fairy tale of gravity and no one thinks anymore about the strong electromagnetic field of the earth. Et voila, a pendulum seemingly swinging with the rotation of the earth, in a closed frame. And why do people think the earth rotates? cause the pendulum is seemingly swinging with the rotation of the earth! It is always said that the earth would rotate below the pendulum, but it could just as well be that it is the pendulum swinging above the earth. There is no point in preferring one conclusion to the other. PS: The Allais effect states that during solar eclipses, the sun's emitted electromagnetism creates noticeable disturbances in the vibrational plane. Without Charronring, you couldn't just use what's not permanent in favor of or against a given sentence, because then you put the cart before the horse and violate honest investigative laws. It will not start to swing on its own and will stop eventually, cause we stand still. Set up several pendulums without a Charron ring, with otherwise the same parameters, in the same place and you will get several different results, since the oscillation cannot be constant.
@@jamesvega8676 It takes understanding basic physics as to why this need not be magnetism.
I used to be a pin-setter for a Foucault pendulum. Usually had to polish it too, because people would touch it and get fingerprints all over it. Sometimes also had to get the moon rock out of the safe and put it in the exhibit.
Well then you know it has a magnet in the 235 lb brass pendulum that is electronically controlled and it's all fake bullsh*t or you're a complete idiot NPC.
Research flat earth
Your joking right
@@RamseyRacing423the Earth is objectively not a globe with a circumference of 24,901 miles at the equator. It appears to be a topographically-level horizontal plane and it absolutely is not rotating - the sky rotates above us. But no amount of logic will convince those who wish to remain willfully ignorant in their mainstream indoctrination... so enjoy your sci-fi globe 😂🤡
@@davidj231 sunset alone debunks you pizza planet a 1st grader could understand that, upside down moon in Australia, stars move in opposite directions in the northern and southern hemispheres, and move different from that at the equator, impossible on a flat earth
@@RamseyRacing423 yet still no evidence of that elusive curvature required to be consistent with the Earth being a globe with a circumference of 24,901 miles... even 1st graders understand that balls must have curves - at least until they're brainwashed into being the next generation of globe cultists. 🤣👌🤡
@@davidj231 your conspiracy is also unrealistic, basically half the population is lying, when do we get let in on the lie ? College ? Grad school ? At what point do we get to know the secret ?
Houston we have a problem. The earth is not rotating around Foucault’s Pendulum. This would only happen at either pole. The earth is said to rotate west which would be in a direction under Foucault’s Pendulum. So it would not appear to move in a clockwise or counter clockwise manner anywhere but the poles.
Wrong.
@@ChristianIce What's wrong?
Do you not understand your belief?
@@jimygod
What I believe is irrilevant, your analysis is factually wrong, and also dumb.
Here's the dumb part: "it would not appear to move in a clockwise or counter clockwise manner anywhere but the poles."
@@ChristianIce The pendulum is said to just swing over and back, it only appears to move because of earth's alleged rotation. At the poles this would be like a merry go round rotating around the pendulum. Anywhere else on earth, the alleged rotation would be like a Ferris wheel rotating directly underneath the centre of the pendulum.
If you set the pendulum in motion with the alleged rotation, why would it appear to move?
@@jimygod
No.
On the poles it will take 24 hours to spin 360 degrees, on the equator it would not spin at all, everywhere in between it will spin proportionally, as it infact does, on the hundreds of installations around the globe.
"At the poles this would be like a merry go round"
No, it would spin back and forth and take one day to complete 1 circle.
fake
Bullshit
What has been done to overcome the air friction that would eventually slow down the bob?
But isn't the pendulum from which it's hanging from , rotating as Earth?
Not really, the pendulum bob and cable are attached to a 360-degree free swivel. Once in motion the heavy bob's momentum wants to carry it in a straight line back and forth. But as the Earth rotates the pendulum appears to rotate (since we are fixed to the Earth our viewpoint is in relation to it, but its actually the Earth (and we) that are rotating. There is a very very small amount of inertia added to the swing through the friction of the swivel, but its minor compared to the momentum of the large linear swing.
Perpetual energy
unfortunately, gravity will eventually stop it. It's efficient, but not perpetual. They'd have to give it a push every now and then
@@IAmOnFyre it wil not gravity has nothing to do with it. It the rotation of the earth... and yes it will end when the earth ends....
@@Spliffie37 No, you are completely wrong.
