He use to be my high school physics teacher. Its supper weird to have him pop up on my feed, especially since he made this video 8 years ago. He would always do cool experiments like this in class to explain difficult concepts. He's probably the reason I became an engineer. Hope all is well sir!
@@tomriddle5102 Fair, perhaps improperly seeing depth would be a better description. Obviously none of the pendulums are moving perpendicular to the initial swing, or orbiting horizontally around any shared central point, but it definitely looks like a spiral pattern at times or even a double helix. The whole illusion is similar to how watching a drill your eye tries to follow percieved motion upward or downward, yet the single horizontal section of the screw pattern is just rotating about the same plane. Or chasing lights, which are actually just flashing in a sequence. It becomes a challenge to focus on a single bulb and not have your eye move along the strand.
I agree with the critique about wanting a close-up, but apparently Mr. Turton has much going on, and they say the busiest people get the most accomplished. So, I'm guessing he wanted to put out this video before he lost time to make it perfectly. That's either his garage, classroom, or both, and we'll never know if putting the camera on the other side of the wave was a bad or restricted shot. He has more wave videos on his channel.
They're not all relatively prime at all, as you can clearly see from the ones which are not regularly synchronizing throughout a single period of the entire wave.
@@AnyMotoUSA: No, it's not close to being relatively prime at all, and it doesn't even make any attempt at it. Calling this relatively prime is simply a total misunderstanding and mislabeling based on not understanding what such a system would look like if it were relatively prime, or what being relatively prime actually means.
@@hoon_sol my understanding is that, due to the decreasing momentum of each pendulum over time there is a resonance that breaks away from synchronization and then retains it when the resonance reoccurs. To maintain the prime synchronization it would need a consistent source of momentum, or am I misunderstanding the problem?
I like that for these guys the pendulum is everything. They gave it a black background; they didn't care at all what else was in the shot, they didn't worry about the lighting in the rest of the room, all they wanted was to observe and record the pendulum.
I find I interesting that it creates helixes, that range from 1 all the way up to 5 strands. But they also reverse in rotation as they count up and down. Really cool.
Everything in that project thought out so precisely down to the most minute detail; and ruined for us by a rushed camera angle. Refilm it and you'll get a million views, great art piece
The angle is quite right to allow us to see a continuous creation of moving shapes of many kinds, which would be less visible from a front or lateral point of view.
Most of the effects can only be seen from one specific angle. None of the pendulums are "rotating" Its an optical illusion created by the camera angle. Viewed from too close or dead on its not very impressive.
I always imagine music playing in harmony then turning to a chaos of notes only to come back to a beautiful song then slowly drift back to chaos. C"est la vie!
Am I the only one who thinks the camera angle and single take is perfectly fine? It's basically like just being in the room. So sick of modern edited videos which try to be cool with a jumpcut every 1.5 seconds, extreme close up shots, slowmo, abstract shot of the wire, top down cos why not, shot of the shadow on the bench for good measure, etc, etc... makes me want to puke from nausea
Thank you for your submission. This is the first pendulum wave I've seen, so I'm withholding judgment on whether it is the world's best ever. I'll return with my assessment after further research.
I think this is awesome. I might have to build one like it for the science museum I am starting. I see that the lengths are very close to correct, and I am thinking about how to tune something like this.

If he had been your English teacher he'd be a bit pissed off with your spelling!-are you sure you are an Engineer?
@@GregorKropotkin-qu2hp Well yeah, I'm pretty sure the whole reason any one becomes an engineer is because they're terrible at writing.
@@alexscales3607 you must be brilliant then. you've even named a video "coading" ☺️🤣🤣 instead of coding
any idea what the relative lengths of the strings were based on? what curve or etc?
I love how your eyes stop perceiving depth when certain movement patterns trick you into seeing things like spirals due to the persistence of vision.
It probably helps we are looking at this through a screen as well versus standing there in person.
Get your eyes checked bro, there is plenty of depth in there

true, since we see in two dimensions but our brains still try to perceive three it can get pretty strange sometimes
That same thing happened to me and I wasn’t sure until I got my brain to control that
This would make an amazing wedding archway
Shame about the wedding though
Yes
@Rosehill CCTV ??
Ooh, that's a cool idea!
This would make a great model to teach about harmonic motion!
Yes

@@abhinavsoni123 😎
It's exactly that..
Bro how tf did I find you on RUclips.
'Takes a lot of balls to do a thing like that.....
Ahh, so it begins. It's a privilege to be here this early from the RUclips algorithm
true
Same, this shit is mesmerising. Will be viral soon.
indeed
It indeed is.
It's started getting recommend I think.
pessimist: "it's the same all over"
realist: "... and it begins again"
don't you think optimist would be a better word than realist?
“…and it begins again.” …such a profound statement.
Truer words have never been spoken
The prophecy was true
The cycle of life!
Not really, it's supposed to "restart"
@TEXAS MAN 2 What the hell does Jesus have to do with anything? Get a job.
Imagine the effort put into creating this... and then filming it 20 feet away

I wish an excellent cinematographer was hired to film this
There's something pleasing about watching their swing frequency periodically sync and desync
you mean the phase. The frequencies (time derivate of phase) are all constant.
I do that with blinkers when I'm at a traffic light. I get so entranced on catching it sync up and then I'm a giddy girl when it does
Relative primeness of frequencies is a hell of a drug.
They're not all relatively prime at all, as you can clearly see from the ones which are not regularly synchronizing throughout a single period of the entire wave.
@@hoon_sol bloody hell, close enough for an analogue system, especially since he was just showing the example. I'd say its a damn fine lesson.
...took my uncle...not even once.

"And it begins again"
- Dwight Schrute
Somehow I read the title as “worlds worst ever pendulum wave” and thought “eh it looks pretty good to me”
world's worst pendulum wave is just a single pendulum
worlds best pendulum wave is when they got that gig at spitfork banks
Same lol. Even i readcit the same.
Only taken 8 years to get to me. Thanks RUclips.
Silence was the second best thing here.
It would be great if traffic was this organized 😂
I find I interesting that it creates helixes, that range from 1 all the way up to 5 strands. But they also reverse in rotation as they count up and down. Really cool.
It took 8 years for RUclips to recommend this video, see you in the next wave lads
That was a lot of work for something that I found utterly fascinating! Good on ya mate!
Thankyou for filming it from the other side of the room . Great work 👍
Everything in that project thought out so precisely down to the most minute detail; and ruined for us by a rushed camera angle.
Refilm it and you'll get a million views, great art piece
also multiple angles with maybe even different colored balls
The angle is quite right to allow us to see a continuous creation of moving shapes of many kinds, which would be less visible from a front or lateral point of view.
Missing frames at 24 seconds bothered me but the angle seems good. What angle would be better?
@@RoyArrowood multiple at the same time would be better

It looks alive. It's hypnotizing me before it moves in for the kill.
Beautiful work.
it's bifurcation in action.

The art of simplicity
This video is 8 years old.
Lol you cannot even view the setup as supposed to. On top of that, some frames freeze
Put a camera on a pendulum, that would really make you sick
Absolutely! And i enjoy the silence.
See ya when this randomly gets into my recommended after 5 or so years
Thank you for your submission. This is the first pendulum wave I've seen, so I'm withholding judgment on whether it is the world's best ever. I'll return with my assessment after further research.
I love love loooove this. So awesome. My favorite part is when it turns into like a DNA swirl. Too cool.
Utterly FASCINATING!!! Big thanks!!!
I've seen many pendulum waves, but this really is the best
Mesmerizing! I could watch this for HOURS!!!
I just told my fiance that about her eyes. Idk why you want to know that but hey it's the internet fuck it right
Cool video! Hope it gets recommended to everyone.
So wildly beautiful. Thank you.
Imagine having a mini one of these in your office during an interview
Amazing. One of the best pendulum videos around.
Super cool and beautiful ! Love it !
See you all in 9 years when this gets recommended again.
Sinusoids are possibly the coolest things in the universe. Thank you to all the mathematicians who enabled us to analyze these fascinating objects
This is absolutely mesmerising
So many patterns going on!
Can't stop watching it's hipnotic! It's SO COOL!🤓
Beautiful harmonic motion
Concept perfectly
explained & understood.
That's is the coolest one I've seen yet.
Reminds me of DNA being unwound for transcription and then being rewound again, with its positive and negative supercoiling! Very cool!!
Amazing work... Pity - the filming of it could have made it even more so!
Huh? It was pretty perfect from where I sat.
@@dnomyarnostaw 20 feet away? At this angle too...
I think this is awesome. I might have to build one like it for the science museum I am starting. I see that the lengths are very close to correct, and I am thinking about how to tune something like this.
Love it. ......Don't let your cat see it, ...haha
So I'm one of the first ones to be summoned by the "Algorithm"
I could watch this all day
And it finally arrives to become viral!
Its beautiful
Amazed every time I see one of these. Might of been better to watch with the camera closer & at a better angle.
I think youtube keeps recommending me mezmorizing videos to try to keep me from learning actual knowledge
Absolutely mezmerizing!
Beautiful.
I spent a minute thinking the apparatus was moving towards the camera and waiting for it to arrive.
So mesmerizing...
Stunningly beautiful.
If I ever have a kid I’m making a mobile based on this design
I can imagine a drone attack using a natural rhythm to attack a target in a concentrated effort
Reminds me of wavefunctions and entropy; a cyclical nature of reality would be satisfying and somehow comforting
We need that up close angle
That's awesome!
Anyone else thinking about how Sega Genesis game bosses, and how they were animated?
I'm having a big VectorMan moment here.
That is SOOO cool!!!
Great and all but need full length 5 hour video i want to know how long it can keep this up
That's crazy cool! ❤
Mesmerising
Mesmerizing
I need this.
Mesmerising ...
Very cool! I guess now I have to try it.. ,😜
Great! Now I want to quit my job and do that full-time
Beautiful ❤️
I was only looking at the one up front and now I am getting sleepy
Cool visualisation of the shannon theorem
I'm hearing "It's a kind of magic, MAGIIIIC!" Bryan May solo.
He does orbits of zodiacal dust, not pendula.
This would great to watch while high
You can imagine the spiral going either to the left or the right and it messes with ur brain
Imagine being able to move your face 5 inches closer to the screen instead of bitching about the distance. This looks great.
Looks like they're having a ball
Bro these pendula could go critical at any time. So I want to take this camera and stand way over there.
That was cool!
After seeing this, I now know the meaning of life
Nice wave!
Fifty years ago, this would have been painted in fluorescent colors and sold alongside black light posters, strobe lights, and lava lamps.
The long string closest to the camera is mesmorizing with it's slow and relaxing swi....... Yes Master I will do as you say....
This video is a algorithm metapher.
Always starts again.
Pretty sweet... A bit lower "noise" than I expected too - alignment was decent after the full cycle
The lag spots really get me
O I want more views from other angles!! really lovely.
As a man who has seen many a pendulum wave, that's the best 👌
👌 mesmerizing😍
Cool, this actually looks pretty easy to build.
You actually look pretty easy to build
@@clayyurman2225 you actually look pretty easy to build
