Foucault's Pendulum

Inspire awe with Foucault’s pendulum and marvel at the beautiful designs it creates in the sand.

Foucault’s pendulum began with a simple experiment by Leon Foucault in 1851 that aimed to demonstrate the Earth’s rotation. This desk sized apparatus creates beautiful patterns, both large and small, when set into motion.

Patterns are created for over five minutes and will rewrite over themselves as the device continues to move.
