Most of my projects end up taking a lot of behind-the-scenes engineering and math just to film them. Its often those technical aspects that are the most frustrating parts of science, so I try and show that in my 'What I'm Working On' videos. Also, TOM SCOTT!? Seriously!? Sigh... haha, alright, Internet.

I have a suggestion: a dark stairwell, a light on the pendulum, and a long exposure camera? That'd give a nice visible line showing the arc of the pendulum (with each exposure covering a couple of swings). That'd need the stairwell to be kept dark-ish though, which would probably be harder than accurate timing (and no opportunity to time the pendulum)

@ScopeofScience

5 жыл бұрын

Neat idea! Crossed my mind early in the planning... but you're right - keeping it dark would be nearly impossible. Most of the ones on display are in stairwells with lots of natural light... and then in addition to that issue, I'd still need to do the timing or I'd end up with a big circle in the image (since it's also swinging)

@massimookissed1023

You could use a photodiode with a narrow field of view below the centre of the swing to sense the swinging light's timing.

This is an awesome experiment to watch. We have such pendulum in our library at Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, and it is like the biggest one in all post-soviet countries, stretching from the ceiling of 6th floor down to entrance hall. I do really appreciate your dedication to such experiments, keep on doing a great job!

I remember going to the childrens museum for a field trip in the 3rd grade and I remember that they had this exact same thing going on but the the ball was surrounded by dominoes at its maximum tip length. And I remember being there at the right time where it grazed the domino once then came back and knocked it over and all of us cheered. Facinating to know what the name of that project was, thanks🙏

This is my first time seeing one of your videos on the day that you uploaded it

You could have used proximity sensor for simpler workaround

@ScopeofScience

5 жыл бұрын

I thought about that, but since the pendulum and the room move in relation to one another, I'd have to keep moving the sensor, and it would inevitably end up making the final video look a bit jumpy. Needed to be more precise and reliable

This video reminded me of The Pitch Drop experiment at UQ. It's another experiment on a time scale that's too long to be manually observed (the pitch only drops every decade or so). The invention of webcams completely revived the experiment, allowing more accurate data to be collected.

I’ve seen these at science museums and similar places, and to show the rotation they set up dominos or small wooden dowels that it gradually knocks over. It’s really neat

So glad I found your channel, keep up the good work!

There´s a Foucault pendulum clock at A Coruña (Galiza, Spain) wich i had the luck of visiting a couple of times. It has sticks around it and is made such a way so each hour it hits a stick. Coruña has really good museums; in the MUNCYT museum, also in A Coruña, they have what is considered the first e-book in the world, althought the original definition is "a mecanical encyclopedia". Keep those videos up!, so Scott (plant) stays hydrated!

Can't wait to see the final project

I recognized the pendulum from the thumbnail. I went to the University of Puget Sound, walked by the pendulum hundreds of times, and never understood what the numbers around the outside were supposed to mean because they never lined up with the actual time. I eagerly await your follow-up video.

Your videos are awesome, keep it up! Just watched your camera making video from last year and it made me subscribe to you, and I very rarely subscribe to anyone. I can't wait to see more videos!

Awsome video!!!

I think you could have made the metal bar thing that circles the pendulum swinging area into a capacitive sensor and when the ball is closest, the value should be the lowest(or highest, not sure :P). That might've needed no people to be around tho. Awesome video :D

I love science...you have a new subscriber.

This is an incredibly well made video. In fact, all of your videos are! I also love the fact that the science you show us is quietly giving the finger to those 'non-believers'. What are those folk called again? 🤔😆

Wouldn't a very-nearly-accurate timer actually give some good results? Say your timer is precise (because computers) and accurate to within 1% of the pendulum period. That means the pendulum goes from one end of its swing to the other over 100 frames, or about three seconds of video at 30fps which isn't far off its real speed. A timelapse like this would appear to show the pendulum swinging from one side to the other, but also precessing a complete circle in 6 or 7 minutes. I'd watch that video (especially if there's also some sunlight coming in through the window or a 24 hour clock or some other thing showing the passage of time in a similar one revolution/day manner).

You turned a little British at the start haha. Nice vid

Not sure why it wasn't in the video description, but its there now. And here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pZlsltiAZsXgn6Q.html

if you talk about the plant at the end of the video, you must say "and that is something you might not have known" when the video ends

You can place sand to examine more properly

Why don't you use an accelerometer and take a photo when the motion vector changes?

WOW

Rip in peace tom scott

😂😂 Tom Scott - thats perfect! Im just glad it isnt jeff

just dump dominoes around the circle.... job done

If you made it timer-based, you could get an interesting effect where it would appear to be swinging in the timelapse (if done right, even at real time speed) but rotating much faster. And that I think would be a MUCH better effect.

@ScopeofScience

Iiinteresting. I really like this idea. Maybe next time? I'd still need to wire it into the system, since the pendulum period changes *very slightly* throughout the day - as the room temperature changes. And as for this video, that would have made doing the animations too confusing for me... but seriously, I'd love to make/see that :)

You could just take a whole video then speed it up... produces beautiful fluid timelapses that you can control because you have every frame of video there... but it looks way better than a regular timelapse...

come on release the timelapse already!
