Serpentine Pendulum/Long Short Pendulum/Pendulum Length and Cycle - Design and Planning Concept Deepening Plan for Science Museum Exhibits

Science Behind It

The period of a single pendulum is only related to the pendulum length, that is, the period is proportional to the square root of the pendulum length. The length of the pendulum decreases regularly, so the period of all pendulums also decreases regularly. source factory of science museum exhibits - Shanghai Inertia Automation Co., Ltd. Reminder: When the swing ball starts to swing, the swing amplitude will not change too much, and the change in swing amplitude will increase regularly over time, forming a snake like swimming state.

Exhibition items description

The swing length of each individual pendulum in this exhibition decreases regularly, so the period of all individual pendulums also decreases regularly. From the perspective of swing angle, the swing angle also decreases regularly. Therefore, after starting the swing, the initial angle difference is not significant and there is a regular difference, making it look like a wavy swing. After swinging multiple times, the difference gradually increased and seemed very chaotic. source factory of science museum exhibits - Shanghai Inertia Automation Co., Ltd. Please note that as the swing continues until the angles of the odd and even swings reach integer multiples and half multiples, respectively, you can observe the situation of splitting into two sides. source factory of science museum exhibits - Shanghai Inertia Automation Co., Ltd. When strictly following certain rules to arrange the length of the pendulum of this instrument, it indicates that repeated movements have better effects. Therefore, each pendulum is equipped with a fine tuned pendulum long button at the top. When the swing ball starts to swing, flannel is attached to the surface of the baffle to increase friction, avoid side swinging, and ensure that each swing plane is parallel.

How to Operate

Rotate the handwheel, the baffle begins to flip and push the swing ball, observe the trajectory of the swing ball's movement.
