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.

This pendulum hangs from one of the towers in the Oregon Convention Center. I stopped to watch it swing and recorded its movement on the final day of Sock Summit 2011.
thought I would post an image from Pendulum's gig at the AECC.

Very little front lights at the gig so a tricky shoot but the 4 jump shots and prob this one is my favourites from the set. Refuse to remove the colour, and it was a true relection of the atmosphere.

The pendulum's tied to the ceiling and just looks like it's moving back and forth. As the earth turns, it tells time. Foucault first set this up in the Pantheon.

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-5256
