I know the toilets are here somewhere! “Pit & Pendulum” Victoria Street, Nottingham. The large interior of this Gothic themed pub is on two levels ground floor and dungeons. The pub is worth a visit just to look round it and it sells decent real ale. This view shows part of the basement (dungeons). Monday 30 July 2012.

A pendulum that demonstrates the Earth's rotation at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco
Pendulum © Storm Thorgerson
Pendulum's third single Island taken from their third album Immersion saw the band working with Storm once again. For their single cover Storm created this fantastical and colourful bird against a grey skyline.
Storm described the cover as an 'amazing sculpture/model of an imaginary bird about to take flight, representing what I imagined as Pendulums desire to invest in more melody than hitherto, though I could be wrong, probably am, but it is a beautiful thang none-the-less'
Is this one of you favourite Storm pieces? What are you looking forward to seeing most at the Exhibition?
Brady and I experimenting with a led flashlight and a pendulum. I then changed some colors in photoshop.
"The 240-pound brass ball, suspended by a cable 40 feet long, swings in a constant direction while the Earth turns beneath it. The pendulum is mounted to a bearing in the rotunda ceiling that does not turn with the building as it rotates with the Earth. A ring magnet at the bearing gives a little tug on each swing of the pendulum to keep the pendulum in motion. As the day passes, the pendulum knocks over pegs set up in the pendulum pit and indicates the progress of rotation."
The Foucault Pendulum recreats an 1851 demonstration by French physicist Jean Bernard Leon Foucault that gave the first direct proof that the Earth rotates on its axis..
.
The OBservatory pendulum is a 240-pound partially-hollow, gun-metal sphere suspended from a 40-foot steel wire. The wire is attached to the rotunda ceiling in a way that allows the pendulum to swing freely. a ring magnet above the ceiling keeps the pendulum in motion wihtout influencing the direction of its swing..
.
The pendulum knocks over a peg ruoghly every seven minutes. From th our perspective , the drection of the pendulum's swing appears to change. What we are really seeing is teh motion of the earth, rotating the peg into the path of the swinging pendulum..
.
At the north and south poles, it takes one day for the pendulum's direction of swing to appear to rotate 360 degrees. As you move from the poles toward the equator, this apparent rotation takes longer because of the change in latitude. This means it also takes longer for each peg to move into the pendulum's path. At the equator itself, there is no apparent shift, and no pegs would ever be knocked down. IN Longangels the pendulum's apparent direction of swing rotates through and takes over 42 hours, so the pit is idivded into 42 hours.
