Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why do the pendulums form moving waves?
Each adjacent pendulum is calibrated with a slightly different string length, giving it an incremented oscillation frequency. As they fall in and out of phase, they produce traveling harmonic wave patterns.
Can I adjust the speed or dampening of the pendulums?
Yes, you can toggle between frictionless ideal motion and real-world air resistance dampening to observe how amplitude decays over time.
