Worlds Best Ever Pendulum Wave

77 Synchronized Golden spheres move to their own rythm and join together to dynamically create alternating harmony and apparent chaos.

He use to be my high school physics teacher. Its supper weird to have him pop up on my feed, especially since he made this video 8 years ago. He would always do cool experiments like this in class to explain difficult concepts. He's probably the reason I became an engineer. Hope all is well sir!

There's something pleasing about watching their swing frequency periodically sync and desync

[@DrDeuteron]

you mean the phase. The frequencies (time derivate of phase) are all constant.

[@destree6348]

I do that with blinkers when I'm at a traffic light. I get so entranced on catching it sync up and then I'm a giddy girl when it does

[@ZapDash]

I love how your eyes stop perceiving depth when certain movement patterns trick you into seeing things like spirals due to the persistence of vision.

[@user-ro5gc6jp9p]

It probably helps we are looking at this through a screen as well versus standing there in person.

[@tomriddle5102]

Get your eyes checked bro, there is plenty of depth in there

[@ZapDash]

@@tomriddle5102 Fair, perhaps improperly seeing depth would be a better description. Obviously none of the pendulums are moving perpendicular to the initial swing, or orbiting horizontally around any shared central point, but it definitely looks like a spiral pattern at times or even a double helix. The whole illusion is similar to how watching a drill your eye tries to follow percieved motion upward or downward, yet the single horizontal section of the screw pattern is just rotating about the same plane. Or chasing lights, which are actually just flashing in a sequence. It becomes a challenge to focus on a single bulb and not have your eye move along the strand.

[@shaesthetic_]

true, since we see in two dimensions but our brains still try to perceive three it can get pretty strange sometimes

[@galaxythefox]

That same thing happened to me and I wasn’t sure until I got my brain to control that

[@TheR971]

Relative primeness of frequencies is a hell of a drug.

[@hoon_sol]

They're not all relatively prime at all, as you can clearly see from the ones which are not regularly synchronizing throughout a single period of the entire wave.

[@AnyMotoUSA]

@@hoon_sol bloody hell, close enough for an analogue system, especially since he was just showing the example. I'd say its a damn fine lesson.

[@anthonyhernandez4266]

...took my uncle...not even once.

[@hoon_sol]

@@AnyMotoUSA: No, it's not close to being relatively prime at all, and it doesn't even make any attempt at it. Calling this relatively prime is simply a total misunderstanding and mislabeling based on not understanding what such a system would look like if it were relatively prime, or what being relatively prime actually means.

[@AnyMotoUSA]

@@hoon_sol my understanding is that, due to the decreasing momentum of each pendulum over time there is a resonance that breaks away from synchronization and then retains it when the resonance reoccurs. To maintain the prime synchronization it would need a consistent source of momentum, or am I misunderstanding the problem?

[@deedoyle4069]

Utterly FASCINATING!!! Big thanks!!!

[@jesusjones1024]

Everything in that project thought out so precisely down to the most minute detail; and ruined for us by a rushed camera angle. Refilm it and you'll get a million views, great art piece

[@aryarish]

also multiple angles with maybe even different colored balls

[@andsalomoni]

The angle is quite right to allow us to see a continuous creation of moving shapes of many kinds, which would be less visible from a front or lateral point of view.

[@RoyArrowood]

Missing frames at 24 seconds bothered me but the angle seems good. What angle would be better?

[@aryarish]

@@RoyArrowood multiple at the same time would be better

[@glennchartrand5411]

Most of the effects can only be seen from one specific angle. None of the pendulums are "rotating" Its an optical illusion created by the camera angle. Viewed from too close or dead on its not very impressive.

[@robertprewitt776]

I always imagine music playing in harmony then turning to a chaos of notes only to come back to a beautiful song then slowly drift back to chaos. C"est la vie!

[@northernmetalworker]

I find I interesting that it creates helixes, that range from 1 all the way up to 5 strands. But they also reverse in rotation as they count up and down. Really cool.

[@iandamon4968]

At the beginning of the video you see him slide the entire suspending bar over about 9 inches, then the bar stops suddenly. So he’s not starting the pendulum by swinging each ball or all of them, he’s starting it by moving the pivot over and the balls all try to recenter below the new pivot point.

Nice! It would help to move the camera in closer to frame the action and eliminate the unnecessary objects in the frame. Also you might have a bit of fun with several camera angles, particularly in parallel and in perpendicular to the wave. It's clear you can find other examples of patterned movement as you get out and about as you travel with camera. Keep it up!

Well done Max. I have the idea of making one hanging from the ceiling and with golden spheres already for a while. Might be time to do it. Would you like to share the measurements? What kind of string have you used? Not sure what to take which is not strechable. I want to use heavy spheres. What kind of spheres have you used? I thought of filling christmas balls with concrete for some weight. I think heavier material is swinging more accurately. I also like the mechanism how to get the spheres in motion. Would you mind to share more details about that please? Thanks

Reverse engineering: the outside bob has a period of 4s. As you count inward, the period falls as T_n =4/[1+n/30] for n=0 to 38. The length is L_n=9.81T^2/(2pi)^2. They oscillate independently and resynch after 2 minutes. It looks like a wave, but there is no wave as there is no energy transfer.
