[@energybengt]

Hahahaha!!!! Love it!

[@BrianCargill]

I would love to hear what it sounds like if each nut struck a note corresponding to the length of the string as it reached each apex. I imagine it coming together as the nuts sync up in groups of 2, then 3 then 4. Music is so mathmatical to begin with it might be pretty cool.... or it might just be a big mess!

[@Xpulsesamples]

That's a great idea! Since any contact and friction would interrupt them, they could pass over light sensors or lasers to trigger the notes.

[@sean..L]

That certainly would be interesting

[@Original-Phantom]

Do it and post a vid it might get views bro

[@rrrosecarbinela]

That is a cool thought! I'd love to see it built in bricks and mortar, but I think it could also be programmed, since this is so mathematical. :)

it's the only reason i kept watching the sponsorship lmao

[@timeless8]

Brilliant idea to play with a silly parrot during your sponsorship segment. I can never turn it off!

[@loverlei79]

Can I just say how much my life would have changed if this guy was my teacher in school? Seriously, Nighthawk, you make this world better just by being in it.

[@Nighthawkinlight]

Very kind of you to say

[@watchfordpilot]

I can't wait to get promoted to granddad. The things I'm going to enjoy showing the grand kids (when they arrive) is going to be so much fun. I'm starting building my pendulum rig tomorrow. Thanks.

[@unvergebeneid]

It's funny how when it first faded to the fluorescent bolts, my brain perceived them as fluorescent cubes instead of hexagons.

[@davidlatoche8751]

same

[@qislegit.donttrustthemedia6232]

And the wave pattern appeared to turn into a triple helix that was rotating in a 3D manner like a carousel! Blew my mind!

[@Ecclesiasticus]

Weird that such fantasctically friendly channel has so few views per video. Obviously you can not re-invent Starlite every video, but i enjoy every single one you put out here if only for the attitude. Keep on rocking that smile, you are an inspiration to continue living our often times unbearable pain-filled lives.

I'm glad you've enjoyed observing my nuts

[@doctorbobstone]

@@Nighthawkinlight But you didn't just show us how your nuts hang. You showed them swinging in the breeze. Though I have to say that, in other circumstance, glowing nuts would normally be a cause for concern...

[@rrrosecarbinela]

Good choice of sponsors! Love TGC. Awesome video of the pendulum, I love watching :)

A visual representation of math in the real world... not surprising, since math is a symbolic representation of what's happening in the real world.

I have to say you're genious with the bird during the ad. it keeps people watching, not using their brains so they can take in the ad at the same time.

[@davesulphate4497]

Your enthusiasm is infectious. Great video as usual.

[@CrucialMuzic]

This is amazing, down right beautiful. Also, love the music you used in the background :) Definitely great idea spraying them down with fluorescent. I think more kids will be motivated to learn something new with videos like these :)

[@Nighthawkinlight]

I hope so, that's the goal.

It almost hypnotized me.

[@cuumole2000]

Very nice! I've done ones with nuts, door knobs, Christmas bulbs, and 24 golf balls. The equations get you close, but a lot of small tweeking is needed to get them to all line up at the end.

[@ryzlot]

Excellent video - shows the effect in the most classic way - THANKS

[@johnwisniewski8712]

Every time I see this demonstration I am more and more in awe!

[@AlChemicalLife]

This is great ! The black light and fluorescent pain was an awesome idea ! I am now gonna try and build one but I think I'm gonna cast my own pendulums out of bismuth for the heavier weight but it also being non toxic so I can bring it with me to do demonstrations! Thanks for the inspiration !! I've been with your channel well before you started DIY projects and were focused on pyro like your sun and planets shell from a long time ago and than your old video on making the 1.5x3" can shell( that video is what got me into building fireworks) you're also the inspiration for the DIY videos on my channel, which aren't nearly as good as yours but I'm working on it ! :) Hope you're doing well ! ~Steven

[@a.m.7438]

I love how it starts out like a graceful slithering snake. Then it just starts dancing and morphing.

[@a.m.7438]

This just became my fav vid on KZbin.

[@grant133]

Ok that's really really cool.. Good job, NightHawk!!

[@Alexander_Sannikov]

i think this is the only channel where people actually enjoy watching the advertisement at the end. for obvious reasons. well, reason.

[@coolnegative]

Beautiful. For me personally, this just shows that whether it be nature or the nature of physics, that there is an underlying order and not just random chance.

[@MaestaWitta]

You're channel makes me so happy!

Ive waited a whole month for a video. And u bring me this. Im impressed

[@TrollFaceTheMan]

Interesting, I didn't realize so much math went into this project. The florescent paint was a very cool touch. Just thinking a mix of other Phosphorescent coolers might of worked worked well too such as Green, Blue, Pink in an alternative pattern. In theory it would create new interesting patterns not only with waves but with colors. Anyways another very cool video, keep.up the great work!

[@rusinsr]

Awesomely presented sponsorship segment, going to check it out when I have some free time!

[@joonasfi]

Great video as usual. And good call on including the bird during the sponsorship - I wouldn't have watched it otherwise. I think you should end each video with the bird!! :)

[@GeometryDashArcticat]

To #Nighthawkinlight I truly am sorry for the loss of your good ol’ friend and one of our favorite content creators: Grant Thompson (The King of Random) 1980 - 2019 I remember watching him way back when I was small and I loved him instantly. I watched him everyday and loved seeing such great experiments and high power gadgets. Seeing such dire and grave news brings many a tears to not just my eyes, but all of ours. 😢 To think that someone as great as Grant Thompson to have passed so early in many of our lives and his own life, is just simply saddening. 😞 All of our hearts go out to Grant Thompson’s wife, children, and other family members and to his friends he made in his youtube career, including you, Nighthawkinlight. ❤️🙏

[@louishorton6743]

Well played Sir !!! Riveting presentation.

[@Jadinandrews]

This is nuts

[@alexanderthomas2660]

You could attach one end of the strings to guitar tuning posts to allow for easy fine-tuning. Of course that would make this a lot more expensive than it currently is… A cheaper way would be screws with a hole drilled through them.

[@Nighthawkinlight]

That's a good idea!

[@doctorbobstone]

As mentioned in the videos, the small errors accumulate. I wonder if you could fine tune those errors out successfully or if you'd run into too much randomness/unpredictableness before you got that far.

[@anullhandle]

@@doctorbobstone You could use a traditional knife edge pivot and a small adjustable screw to fine tune each center of mass but they are all free running. Maybe release them with electromagnet and resync them every nth cycle ?

[@louf7178]

Was thinking air currents were affecting the timings.

[@alexanderthomas2660]

@@louf7178 Unless there is an actual draft in the room, air will cause mostly random errors that will usually cancel each other out. Of course these will eventually cause the whole thing to go out of sync unless it is placed in a vacuum chamber. An error in the length of the strings on the other hand will keep accumulating because the error is the same at all times. Eliminating this systematic error will allow the pendulums to stay in sync for much longer.

[@50kArchipelagos]

Outstanding in the truest sense.

[@6root91]

Make a 20 min video of the pendulums in motion; a lot of us will watch.

[@ykjt91]

Watched on .5 speed. Simply gorgeous. Amazing how the brain tricks you into thinking it's a 3d pattern

[@corner1197]

Incredible! Always look forward to these

[@I86282]

That is nuts gravy.! Fantastic.!

[@PPYTAO]

That was incredibly beautiful. Thank you. I was seeing 3D spirals evolving and changing.

[@passthebutterrobot2600]

I love that there's a pattern, then there's chaos for a bit, then another different pattern, then chaos again.... and so on. Remarkable.

[@Nighthawkinlight]

With enough pendulums even the chaotic parts have patterns of some sort that you can see

[@trywait1979]

[@miltonknowlestheinsanewitc4996]

Pets are indeed a good way to get viewers and your bird is cute

[@schokoman11]

Those accumulating errors, are they the same every time you start the pendulum or do they change from run to run? Because if they are the same every time you should be able to tweak and tune the lenghts of the strings until you reach perfection.

[@Nighthawkinlight]

It could be made more accurate, but at a certain point you would have to get rid of the string and replace with metal rods.

[@agnosjr]

Thank you for sharing it! Much appreciated, Cheers!

[@shean7890]

Fantastic video, thank you 🙏. I love the color green as well .

[@brianh.000]

How strange--some of the patterns make it look like a 3 dimensional object spinning around. Trippy! Think I'll need to stop at Home Depot to buy some big nuts and string now. :)

[@lindacloudobserver9717]

Is this also about the Poles flipping? In other words, the rythyms/patterns formed by the swinging bolts, reversal, then chaos followed by the return to order.

[@theswirl7418]

Love this so much! 👍

[@mspacone]

What an awesome video!

[@antonioestupinian2732]

Congrats for a great job, and a big form to reach mathematics...

[@randomnameifyful]

i thought it was kinda neat when the nuts were moving very slow, cool project!

[@Torta--is--PLUR]

Needed a perfectly straight board and evenly weighted nuts. Between the slight warp in the board and the uneven weights it is throwing off the pattern and movements

[@Nighthawkinlight]

Nope, neither of those things actually matter. The physics of pendulums is such that they complete a swing in the exact same amount of time regardless of weight or how far they're pulled back.

[@reggiep75]

I dunno about anyone else but after a period of time I no longer saw pendulous patterns but rotational patterns.

[@eduardopadilla5505]

You are right, extraordinary patterns!!

[@quakers200]

Since they are all attached to one board I was wondering if there would be an effect from the harmonics in that board. Thinking of how metronomes synchronize. Perhaps a pan of water resting on the top board would produce a visual wave pattern expressing any harmonies within the apparatus as a whole.
