None the less i have learnt about this in my A2 physics course its a shame we just read about it and saw diagrams but did not actually witness the experiment
this was very helpful as i understand things better when i can visualise them thanks!
Moving the shortest one causes the others to oscillate with a small amplitude, but does not cause one to stand out with a large amplitude - i.e. no resonance.
In these experiments, the driver pendulum has a larger mass than the others - this may not be clear from the video.
The wire is slack, and that penulum is also the same distance away from the pole as the original. Wouldn't that make a big difference, not just the length?
im not sure about a nobel prize but this is pretty interesting because the pendulum that had the largest amplitude was also about the same length as the one that you first moved. i wonder if you first move a shorter one will you get the same results?
Very helpful video, thank you - you're right its the only decent one on youtube!

this could b demonstrated sooo much better by a clearer camera, longer explanation n a decent cameraman.
sucky!

Agreed - so you have that task. Sadly, nothing better on YouTube right now

I've seen many Pendula in my time, but this is simply incredible. You should be awarded a Nobel Prize. Keep up the good work.
