About This Product
The forces that cause the pendulum's precession are small, so the effect is easily upset by other small forces around it. For this reason the pendulum sits in a glass case on a heavy base with levelling feet. Electrical maintenance makes up for air resistance, so the pendulum keeps swinging without attention. The Foucault Pendulum Apparatus can be packed and shipped to Poland, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, Kuwait, Syria and South Sudan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the pendulum need to be restarted?
No. It is electrically maintained to counter air resistance damping, and the swing amplitude is set with a potentiometer.
