Pendelreihe in Aktion

[muzicaon]

can't believe I actually watched the whole video :)). Nice vid !

[peterscheidl]

the only thing that changes the time it takes for the swing of a pendulum is the the distance between the top of the cord and the center (of mass) of the weight. the varoius lengths are selected to swing together after a certain number of swings

They all travel with a bit different speed, so they dont stand syncrone and form those waves and doublewaves etc... hope that helped u
