  • In this video I swing a pendulum in air and then in a vacuum to see how much longer the one in a vacuum can keep swinging due to the decreased air resistance. I first test it out with a steel ball bearing and it turns out that there is not much of a difference between air and vacuum tests. Then I test it with a big sheet of Styrofoam and show that the vacuum one lasts much longer. This was a neat test that showed me that for an aerodynamic pendulum the reason it stops swinging is mostly due to string friction and not air resistance.

    Hi everyone, thanks for watching! I saw a lot of misconceptions about gravity in the comments so I thought I would clear some things up. Gravity does not slow the pendulum down, in fact, gravity is the reason it keeps moving. With no gravity, a pendulum would not swing at all. Gravity is always pulling on the ball causing it to move and change potential energy to kinetic energy in a repeating cycle.
    And since I can't help myself...gravity is everywhere, even in space. You just usually see things in space as weightless because they are usually orbiting the earth which means they are in free fall around the earth making them weightless. You are never free from gravity even in deep space. As proof of this, remember our sun (and you) is falling around (orbiting) the super massive black hole at the center of the milky way 500,000,000,000,000,000 kilometers away due to its gravity. The only way you "feel" gravity or weight is when there is something stopping you from falling.

      So, forgeting about energy conversion and the fact it's not perfect vacuum, gravity's constant pull makes the ball swing at constant cycles, but it slows down because the string don't let it "orbit". So, slowly but surely, it aligns with gravity's normal
      Did I get it right?

    Most of your resistance here is coming from the inefficient pivot point. You're losing too much energy there in friction and vibration. You can't just tie a string to a random point and call it a pendulum. With a decent pendulum, your ball should be swinging for days in a vacuum.

Like figuring out how explosive materials such as gasoline behaves in outer spaces. Or how rubber and metal contracts or softens in space. Even how radio frequencies travel through a vacuum.

"IF" you do this one again in the future, might I recommend suspending your weight from 2 strings much like a Newton's Cradle (one from each bolt at the top) as the camera is not 100% able to pick up if the ball is swinging partially to and from the camera, thereby altering the left/right linear measurement. YES you can trace the arch, but most wont. GREAT STUFF!!!

  • @LeoNardo-be6yh
    @LeoNardo-be6yh 7 років тому

    Somebody may have made these comments already, but gravity pulls the pendulum straight down (stopping/slowing oscillation) more so than the friction of the string regardless of air resistance. If you were to graph the data from start to dead still, the delta would be much more visible. Suspending the bearing from a pair of strings, like that desktop toy with multiple balls, would contain the swing to one axis too. This would help gather data even more with the styrofoam demo.

    The bigest power that is on the pendulum with air or not is the gravity thats why the ball stops and there isnt much difrens between the two swings! Now if u will do the same expiriment with the second swing from higher place than the fist the u will get a significant difrence beetween the swings , and it will be intresting to! ( difrence from the sea lvl the first swing took place ex 1st from your house if you dont live on a mountain : ) and the 2nd from a mountain then we will have some significant difrence and it vill be fan to watch !) keep the good job and sory for my grammar but im from greece sooo .... its like an exqiuse :D be healthy live strong greetings from greece

    This gives me hope for my scaled down Foucault Pendulum.

Your top attachment needs a bit of work though. It mustn't induce elliptical motion. That happens naturally anyway.

      You need an "oxidizer" to maintain combustion. Oxygen is not the only such chemical.
      Potassium nitrate releases oxygen when heated, making it a plausible candidate for a self-sustaining vacuum fire, depending on how quickly the oxygen diffuses away from the fuel.
      From what I know of chlorine trifluoride, I wouldn't be surprised if it lit the vacuum chamber itself on fire.

  • @travissmith2848
    @travissmith2848 7 років тому

    A minor observation on your procedure: in the Styrofoam test the foam hit the sides on the first swing (and second in vacuum) thus dissipating some of the energy. Having the foam test done with a spacer holding the pendulum up that would fall free would likely provide more reliable results. Also as +Daniel Chavez and +Ahsan Ejaz observed the motion was not unidirectional. there may be, depending on how it was fastened, more friction in one direction than another.
    Don't expect any drastic changes in outcome, but there are unaccounted for variables.

  • @Qblaze
    @Qblaze 7 років тому

    I think the issue with the test was that it actually hit the acrylic, losing a lot of potential and kinetic energy. To best test this, I think you would need at least a 2x2x4 chamber, hang the ball on a 1.8-1.9 foot string so it won't make contact with the walls, and start it about an inch from the lid/top. I think only then could we say the deciding factor here is friction.

  • @zacs2118
    @zacs2118 7 років тому

    Unfortunately measuring the width wont give you accurate data since the pendulum doesn't just swing from left to right but also against you and away from you. The pendulum isn't restricted to a certain bath and you're measuring the width from the same angle. Try for instance to measure the width at 2:24 and 2:27, even though you know these measurements should be fairly identical, they wont be. You should have used two lines attached to the ball, like the balls in newtons cradle.

I hope not because the most recent definition of friction defines friction as a effect of electro-magnetic fore between two surfaces and if there is no surrounding particle then there should not have been frictional fore. But if this is the case then, why does google say there is friction in space?

Also you might be able to reduce the friction lost in the string by replacing it with a stiff rod that pivots on a knife edge (razor blade) resting on two flat steel plates, one on either side of the pendulum. Also I've wanted to make a newtons cradle in a vacuum for years but never had the time to try it.

    Of course it is the left air that is the reason, the stings friction is the same in air and vacuum so it doesnt matter.

    i think the energy lost is within the change in velocity causing friction within the rope. Definitely so as the rope causes a slight spring and twist to the pendulum's arc which causes an imbalanced change in momentum. i wonder if a different rope would have a different effect. And also im curious how the earth's rotation could influence a pendulum's arc

    I am pretty sure the gravity also acts as a damper. When the ball is moving away ftom its mean position the gravity is resisting it so i think gravity is the main reason for it to stop.

  • @foroyalty

    I think the 'problem' (or "drawback") in his experiment - which is what means the pendulum doesn't swing 'perpetually' - is that it is, after all, only a 'miniature-scale model' and, therefore, due to its small size, the pendulum, in swinging downwards, does not have the same degree or measure of opportunity it would otherwise have if it were a gigantic pendulum attached to a 'towering' structure (like the Eiffel Tower!) to accelerate in a downward direction and, thereby, gather a lot of speed (having, also, been 'swung' from a 'high', horizontal 'starting position') before, finally, starting to swing back upwards again towards the top of the high-built, tall (as opposed to short, low-built and small-scale, relatively "non-accelerational" [in terms of total, 'penultimate' acceleration achieved]) pendulum-suspending tower!
    I.e. (for the sake of 'analogy'), if you wanted to fire a 'pendulum-shaped' bullet upwards into the air which would travel out of a gun and into the air quickly (eg, at approximately "supersonic" speed!) you would have to, first, put a sufficient quantity of gunpowder behind the bullet inside the gun's chamber to make this degree of 'penultimate acceleration' of the bullet possible; then, the 'pendulum-shaped' bullet might reach into the air up to the height you wanted it to (eg, to "hit a target") before then re-descending or "falling back down again" (due to its gradual deceleration by gravity as it travelled upwards through the total distance of its upward motion)!
    Could this, combined with elimination or reduction of 'resistance' to the motion of a pendulum (by, for example, putting a swinging pendulum in a vacuum to eliminate 'drag'), be the 'secret' or 'key' to the construction of a "perpetually swinging pendulum", 'free-energy' generating machine!?
    NOTE: These 'comments', however, are "wishful thinking" (and "wrong"), are they not!?

    Cool, but predictable. No surprise ending.
    The do- over. Take a pendulum more like a clock's pendulum. A broad flat disc and hinged so it can't turn sideways. In air, do it twice with the disc oriented parallel to swing and broadside to swing. Something like a silver dollar hung from 2 wires. Then in vacuum, but only once with it broadside to swing.
    And use a longer radius. Instead of 5 minutes or something, show time until very small swings. The styrofoam was to bulky, it hit the far side of the tank. Even a small post-it note would've worked better.

      No, full vaccum is virtually impossible to do, but it actually gets close to it. I think it lowers the pressure to about 30 mmHg which is about 25 times less pressure than normal (760mmHg)

  • @kylesalo9962
    @kylesalo9962 7 років тому

    First off, great video concept. However, you have some major flaws in your experiment design. For starters, the way you have the pendulum attached causes friction and redirection. Second, you attached the styrofoam to the string which makes a rigid surface thereby shortening the string in a sense. Fix those things and you will see a larger difference. I get what you were getting at though.

  • @ab_ab_c
    @ab_ab_c 3 роки тому

    I can't see how your rope is attached, so I don't know if it is a simple loop that is causing drag on a rod or it is just a fixed tied rope, but it seems odd to me that your pendulum would stop swinging in a good vacuum so quickly.
    I think you've shown pretty well that air resistance (or lack thereof) isn't the major factor in causing your pendulum to lose energy. It seems odd to me that a fixed-tied rope would generate heat due to tension to cause your pendulum to slow so quickly in a vacuum. If you have a loop of string that is dragging on a rod with each swing, I'd be interested to see you use a magnetic bearing to determine how much longer the sphere would swing in such a condition.
    I'd also be curious to see if most of the energy is lost in the beginning rather than at the end of the swing time. It seems to be a nonlinear loss of energy in your system. Can you measure the swing distance at 30 second intervals to see if the energy loss is greater at different times?

    I'd like to see this experiment repeated with a nonconductor. You see the metal ball is a conductor and it is moving through the Earth's magnetic field. This induces an electric current within the ball that creates its own magnetic field which opposes the Earth's magnetic field which causes it to slow down.

    i hava a question if you were to shout out air in front of a ship going at a fast enughe speed and then re capture it using a air funle at the end of it would it accelarate fast enufe to be woth it it would be like having a force filled around it my point is that if you could capture all the air at the end you could have a end less fule suply i dont under stand what the air would do in space
    i gues i want to see a wind tunle in a vacume chamber what dose the air do becuse laws of physics say that the air in a gas state should fly in every direction bouncing off of each other but if you shout it from the front of the space craft could you use the space craft to direct the air flow in space to re capture the air to re use
