Pendulum Wave Science Kinetics Our pendulum waves transforms a simple visual experience into educational tool by including multiple pendulums, each with a precisely tuned cycle. as the cable length increases, each successive pendulum will swing an exact number of cycles less per minute than the one before it. Explore pendulum motion, experiment with variables, and understand the physics behind periodic motion through this interactive simulation.
Pendulum Wave Science Kinetics A pendulum wave is an elementary physics demonstration and kinetic art comprising a number of uncoupled simple pendulums with monotonically increasing lengths. as the pendulums oscillate, they appear to produce travelling and standing waves, beating, and random motion. [1][2][3]. At the starting point of its swing, the pendulum has potential energy. as the pendulum swings downward, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. as the pendulum swings upward, its kinetic energy is converted back into potential energy. Fifteen uncoupled simple pendulums of monotonically increasing lengths dance together to produce visual traveling waves, standing waves, beating, and random motion. In this lesson, the sinusoidal nature of pendulum motion is discussed and an analysis of the motion in terms of force and energy is conducted. and the mathematical equation for period is introduced.

Present this demonstration by setting the pendulum wave on a standard overhead projector for an incredibly visual demonstration. the system can be constructed using empty plastic soda bottles, suspended by strings tied around the bottom of each cap. the soda bottle acts as the bob. By pulling the stick away so that each pendulum starts instantaneously, the nine pendulums begin to oscillate at unique periods. together, they form a wave like pattern that undergoes multiple phase relationships. The video, below, shows 15 pendulums swinging from the same bar. although the pendulums are released at the same time, they swing at different speeds. this creates the visual effect of a wave. if you focus on one pendulum at a time, you can see that each pendulum is in fact swinging back and forth in a consistent motion. How does a pendulum work? learn about pendulum motion, understand oscillation and period, and see examples of pendulums in clocks and physics.
