Why is this pendulum important?
In 1851, Jean-Bernard-Leon Foucault proved that the Earth turns using a pendulum like this one.
What should you see if you stood here all day?
At 9:30 a.m. the museum starts the pendulum swinging in a North-South direction. During the day the pendulum knocks down a peg every 20-25 minutes, making it appear to change direction. By 5 p.m., half of the pegs have been knocked down.
What's going on?
The fact that the Earth is spinning and the pendulum is swinging creates this interesting effect.

Brady and I experimenting with a led flashlight and a pendulum. I then changed some colors in photoshop.
This piece is a meditation on the state of American politics since Reagan. It only swings to the right.

The Foucault pendulum (play /fuːˈkoʊ/ foo-KOH), or Foucault's pendulum, named after the French physicist Léon Foucault, is a simple device conceived as an experiment to demonstrate the rotation of the Earth. While it had long been known that the Earth rotated, the introduction of the Foucault pendulum in 1851 was the first simple proof of the rotation in an easy-to-see experiment.
Eindhoven, 2013113. Glow2013 the annual lights festival in Eindhoven: Ivo Schoofs, Large Pendulum Wave.
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.

By constructing a fixed 67-meter swinging lead bob beneath the central dome, Foucault was able to prove that the earth was in fact in rotation at all times, as the plane of the pendulum never changed, yet it seemed to move with earth’s rotation. While the original pendulum is now housed at the Musée des Arts et Métiers, a working copy is displayed at the Panthéon and has been swinging there since 1995.

Pendulum swings from one side to the other, always passing through the centrepoint.

Cool to watch, and there's always a cheer when it knocks over one of the wooden pegs!
Future is a Mistery. From the beginning of Times man tried to scan his future in several ways.
Tarots, Pendulums, Sibyl and many other ways.
Personally I prefer Tarots, they are loyal companions to me, but recently I've found that also pendulum is a useful and exact friend to ask to.
This board is conceived for pendulums only. It is handpainted with atoxic metallic colors by original design on natural wood. The diameter of the tablet is 25 cm.
It is possible to realize custom design.
