How Pendulum Works

How Pendulum Works.
Pendulum working Animation.
Technology Behind the Pendulum.
A pendulum works by converting energy back and forth, a bit like a rollercoaster ride. When the bob is highest (furthest from the ground), it has maximum stored energy (potential energy). As it accelerates down toward its lowest point (its midpoint, nearest the ground), this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (energy of movement) and then, as the bob climbs up again, back to potential energy. So as the bob swings (oscillates) back and forth, it repeatedly switches its energy back and forth between potential and kinetic. Something that works this way is called a harmonic oscillator and its movement is an example of simple harmonic motion, though we won't go into those things here.
A summary of how clocks work
In summary, then, the key parts of a pendulum clock are:
A dial and hands that indicate the time.
A weight that stores (potential) energy and releases it to the clock mechanism as it falls, very gradually, over the course of a day (or several days, if you're lucky). Winding the clock raises the weight back up, storing more potential energy to power the mechanism.
A set of power gears that take energy from the falling weight and use it to drive the clock mechanism at the correct speed. If we use a really heavy weight and the right power gears, the weight will store enough energy to drive the clock for days without us having to wind it up. (Remember the law of conservation of energy here: the longer the clock runs, the more energy it uses; a clock with a heavier weight can store more potential energy so, generally speaking, it's going to run for longer without winding than one with a lighter weight.)
A set of timekeeping gears that drive the different hands around the clockface at different speeds. These are usually finer and more precisely made than the power gears.
A pendulum and escapement that regulate the speed of the clock and keep it (more or less) constant.

Nicely Described how Pendulum Works

Nice

🤔 How does the pendulum amplitude not diminish to near zero, over time as it would without a surrounding clock mechanism? Quite clever mechanism that puts that energy back into the swing to keep amplitude constant.🎉

That is how Pendulums Work

Yo gi oh is getting so confusing
