Pendulum waves

An old video of pendulum waves – Randomness still shows some pattern.

“Fifteen uncoupled simple pendulums of monotonically increasing lengths dance together to produce visual traveling waves, standing waves, beating, and (seemingly) random motion.”

Pick any one pendulum & try to focus on just its movement.

A different, powerful kind of wave [Article]

Rob Fulghum brings it to attention:

And there’s a much smaller-but-visible wave that strikes me sometimes. I don’t have a name for it.  But you will recognize it if I tell you about it.
