A few years ago when I made my first small model of a pendulum wave for YouTube, I also built a much larger one that I never showed on camera. This pendulum wave which starts with a pendulum of 1 meter in length was made as a larger scale demonstration for a kid's summer camp. The period of the series is 90 seconds which is much longer than most models, and allows a number of patterns to be seen that are not usually visible.

This video will be made public later today around 3pm EST. Hope you enjoy!

Extraordinary Patterns of a Pendulum Wave

Thanks to my sponsor, The Great Courses Plus! Get a free trial here: http://ow.ly/GAX230p0hMC In this video I show my giant pendulum wave and talk about how it works. I built this as a physics demonstration for a kid's summer camp. This is a great project to show to large and small groups and provides lots of talking points about how math effects the real world. Thanks to my Patreon supporters for keeping these videos possible! https://www.patreon.com/NightHawkProjects A special thanks to my top supporters on Patreon!
