This display has been to Burning Man before - it never fails to draw the crowds. The pendulum is rotated by burst of flame.
Pendulum "The Unseen Impact" is the theme for our first TEDxDamanhur event for 2016. This year we decided to choose topics about the backstage process which nobody knows about it, but everyone knows the final stage thinking it's easy to reach this stage. Hope you enjoy our photos.

Foucault Pendulum- Invented by Jean Foucault (French physicist) in 1851. It gave the first direct proof that the Earth rotates on its axis. The Observatory pendulum is a 240-pound brass sphere suspended from a 40-foot steel wire. Once started, it continues to swing in the same direction. A ring magnet above the ceiling keeps the pendulum in motion without influencing the direction of its swing.
Every ten minutes or so the pendulum knocks over a peg, but it's not the pendulum that has moved: the earth has moved the peg into the path of the pendulum. The pendulum is disconnected from the turning of the earth, and the earth rotates beneath it, making it look as if the pendulum is changing the direction of its swing.
At the north and south poles, it takes 24 hours for a complete circle of pegs to be moved into the pendulum's path. The closer it is to the equator, the more slowly the pegs rotate. At the
equator itself, there is no apparent shift, and no pegs would be knocked down. The pit here is divided into 42 hourly divisions, which is how long it takes the pendulum here to go through the full circle. Griffith Observatory. DSC-5253

Griffith Observatory's Foucault Pendulum. It was made to prove that the planet rotated. What it does is just swings back and forth, and as the Earth spins, it moves one of those pegs near the bottom in the pendulum's path, which knocks it over. It hits a pin every 10 minutes. I wanted to capture the motion. The pendulum itself consists of a giant sphere with a needle on the bottom.
I wanted to capture some motion to it, so, there you go.

This photo was taken in the bathroom of the sushi restaurant Maru, in downtown Kalamazoo. I found this gray and black palleted bathroom to be very engaging. I like the mixture of lines and curves in the bottom of the photo that are balanced out by the simple upper portion of the photo. I also liked how the yellow of the light is at a somewhat natural center of the photo, on the very verge of the horizon line created by the change in wallpaper.
