a pendulum is a weight suspended from some point (tip: using a nylon mason's string here, which can carry a good weight and doesn't stretch that much). substitute some LED lights for your weight, and you're in for a lightpainting surprise :) these are simple circles, i'm planning to do more complex things soon!
The Foucault pendulum or Foucault's pendulum, named after the French physicist Léon Foucault, was conceived as an experiment to demonstrate the rotation of the Earth.
There are numerous Foucault pendulums around the world, mainly at universities, science museums and planetariums. The experiment has even been carried out at the South Pole.
There are 4 in india :
-Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gorakhpur University, India
-Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Pune,
-India Tel Bhavan, ONGC, Dehradun,
-India Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad, GUJARAT.
Foucault's pendulum, was conceived by Léon Foucault (1819-68), a simple device to illustrate the Earth's rotation in 1851.
The pendulum shows the Earth's rotation by the plane of oscillation of its swing slowly revolve.
In one sense, the pendulum stays still, and the floor rotates.
Taken in the Panthéon, Paris
The neoclassical Panthéon was originally built as a church to St Genevieve, to fulfill a vow made by Louis XV on recovery from an illness. The architect was Jacques-Gabriel Soufflot (July 22, 1713-80).
Construction on the building began 1758, but was hampered by the economic situation; it was finally completed in 1790.
In 1791 the National Constituent Assembly declared that the church should be a mausoleum ""To the great men, the grateful homeland"".

Ophioglossum pendulum
Common name:Ribbon Fern
Family: Ophioglossaceae.
Genus: Ophioglossum.
Fronds( barren and fertile )arise from Elkhorn Ferns , ribbon-like, entire or rarely forked at the end.Spikes rise from the central line of the frond .Spore cases in two opposite margins, nearly along the whole length of the spike .

They are extremely hard to spot. Looking straight up into the trees is no good! Try looking as horizontal as possible into the canopy, possibly from sloping terrain. I’ve found that drizzly (not heavily raining) weather is good for spotting them as they come out to the edges of the denser forest. This is apparently to make the most of any wind to dry themselves.

Think maths and physics are boring? The Large Pendulum Wave proves the opposite! This installation – almost seven metres high – is proof that mathematical and physical principles are able to generate superbly lyrical images. Large Pendulum Wave consists of a frame to which fifteen pendulums are attached, each culminating in an illuminated sphere. The pendulums are of different lengths, generating random patterns. Continuous waves become groups of pendulums ‘dancing’ at different tempos, which eventually descend into an apparent chaos. A little later, and the spheres suddenly seem to resume an orderly, harmonious pattern.
Not only the movement of the spheres, but the colour of their light, changes with an extraordinary sequencing. Together, the movements offer a dazzling spectacle. Ivo Schoofs and his team aim to bring science closer to the general public, with installations based on familiar phenomena and that are a delight to the eye.
In the main entrance of the observatory is this Focault pendulum, which demonstrates the rotation of the Earth.
