While this was a great experiment, you have to be kidding yourself if you think it was not "powered". Even if the string was loose, which it wasn't,. This sets it off to the velocity formula. I bet you can calculate how long it would take before that mass comes to rest. Sorry, but this is not motion by spinning of the earth, and I think the person doing the video is not claiming such, as he knows it is not happening. You also have to look into Jefemenko's field theory explanations, and this fall along. As we also have to factor in true north azimuth magnetic north. SO these things are NOT very scientific FROM THE GET GO! We have MUCH better tools today. Why not use these tools vs the 200 year or 2000(Eratosthenes) year old methods? Mind boggling!! Takes a bit more money, but much less setup and time, with NO variables that start from a WRONG tangent. Now I think doing the test IS very praise worthy, and encouraging to know. But the conclusions we draw from these are very dangerous. We feed our ego, and our false sense of understanding in a dogmatic manner. This needs to stop.

@Yute firstly aeroplanes would be slightly affected by this phenomena, it would just be so small. Comparable to a minor breeze which they would constantly be manually and/or automatically correcting for anyway. So whether or not this force is actually effecting the plane doesn't make a difference because it would be indistinguishable from other factors affecting the plane. And really? You're seriously going to sit there and claim earths magnetic field is causing this. You think the force applied to the pendulum would just so happen to be perfect in which it produces a deviation in the swing of the pendulum which near perfectly matches the exact deviation in the pendulums swing we would expect to see if it is at that exact latitude on a spherical rotating earth. Which then allows him to almost perfectly predict his latitude. NO. The chances of this perfectly matching up would be near zero. The magnetic field strength of earth at this position, the magnetic field strength of the pendulum, the magnetic flux passing through the pendulum, Magnetic reluctance of the pendulum, the amount of energy lost as heat through magnetic induction and many many more factors would all have to perfectly sum to just coincidentally produce a force which we would expect to see on the pendulum if the earth was spherical and rotating at the rate it is at that position. Yeah no, not gonna happen. If you're so confident magnetic fields are producing this effect perfectly to match which predictions of the globe earth you should be able to explain and calculate how. If you are going to reply to this I better see some electromagnetism principles and calculations to show these results can be produced and based off values such as the ones I listed earlier will produce the exact results in this experiment otherwise everything you are saying is no more than stupid claim to make the flat earth idea seem worthy. And lets just for this situation assume you are correct about the increase in the speed of individuals on earth because you clearly have no knowledge of the principles of relative motion, but let's just assume you are correct. Firstly we do not feel velocity we feel acceleration. So based on the acceleration of 2.15 cm/s/s, that is 0.0215 m/s/s, an acceleration like that would equivalent of accelerating roughly from 0 to 28 m/s or 0 to 100km/h in just under 22 minutes. That shit is nothing, you would feel more force if a bug flew into your face. What I am saying is it is not noticeable. Remember if you're going to reply don't forget those calculations and more detailed explanations with actual supporting data.

You are missing the point of that motor completely. The motor is there to keep the rotation going, but more importantly, going in the ‘right’ direction… Foucault came up with a chaotic system for his deceit, because a chaotic system can easily be perturbed to do exactly what you want it to do. Earth is stationary: Airy’s failure, Michelson & Morley, and all similar experiments after prove that; the aether (‘heavens’) are what is rotating. That is why a RLG shows a drift, but a mechanical gyro does not. The movement of the aether effects the light in thr RLG. Einstein the Rosicrucian did a great job deceiving the masses and his colleagues coming up with his theories that need an aether to work, but selling it as if they don’t…

Yute Option 1 (reality) is that Earth is a rotating sphere. This experiment is consistent with that idea and proposing that you don't notice a 0.2% weight difference when travelling from a pole to the equator seems reasonable (haven't actually checked the math but let's take a huge leap and assume you did it correctly). Everything you can observe is consistent with a rotation spherical Earth. Option 2 (your proposition) is that a massive magnetic field rotates somewhere beneath or above the flat Earth to make the pendulum move and for some reason isn't detected and doesn't interact with other metals in the same way and rotates the other way south of the equator. On top of that you propose that you would notice a weight difference that is equivalent of eating an egg. You honestly think option 2 is reasonable?

Nice experiment. Thanks for publishing it. I may try it myself sometime. If I do it maybe I'll use a laser pointer instead of marker, and then I'll take a pictures of where where the light intersects the ground. My attempt to explain the formula for those curious - a pendulum can be thought of as a device that measures rotation around it's vertical axis. If it's at the North or South pole it will measure that the rotation about it's vertical axis is 15° / hour (one rotation per day) because in that case the Earth's axis is lined up with the pendulum's vertical axis. In other cases you need to figure out how much of Earth's rotation (a vector pointing North) is lined up with the pendulum's vertical axis. In other words the pendulum will measure the vertical component of the rotation. sin(latitude) is the trig function to figure this out. This is similar to being told that something is moving North East at a certain angle at a certain speed, but you want to figure out how fast it's moving North.

@Zakir Khan I'm interested in how you came to that conclusion. The bob was made of lead. Which is not magnetic. It is diamagnetic. The real nail in the coffin is the fact that the we get the same results using non metallic objects. What you also fail to acknowledge is the thing that Foucault did was not just to predict that a pendulum would undergo precession, but also to predict which way the precession would go, and how rapidly, depending on the latitude of the observer. So are you seriously gonna sit there and try to claim earths magnetic field is causing this? Really? Ask yourself, do you really think the force applied to the pendulum would just so happen to be perfect in which it produces a deviation in the swing of the pendulum which near perfectly matches the exact deviation in the pendulums swing we would expect to see if it is at that exact latitude on a spherical rotating earth.

@Zakir Khan You mentiond it was caused merely by the RMF effect, if that were the case, then the time of one pendulum rotation would depend on where you are located on the chosen latitude - and it doesn't. Also, the precession shouldn't be the same for all materials. In other words, the deflection of a 20 kg lead weight shouldn't be the same as a 20 kg brass one. And if you make it out of cast iron (which is far more strongly influenced by it) it should be wildly different. This difference is not observed experimentally. The real strength of the Foucault pendulum comes when you repeat the experiment so that all these tiny parasitic forces ought to be randomly different, but the precession period turns out to be exactly the same, and then you repeat it in a city at a different latitude and the precession period is different by the right amount. Oh and I almost forgot to mention, that a foucault pendulum set up at the equator will show no precession at all! The physics of a simple pendulum are not dependant on the material. I've seen them being done with all types of things from styrofoam, wood, stone, marble, steel, brass, lead, quartz etc. Here is good video demonstration of a wood and styrofoam pendulum, and as you can see, the physics remain the same. kzitem.info/news/bejne/rX6LvqCPa6N_fYo

It depends only on the length of string and value of acceleration due to gravity. Meaning even if you change the Bob with any type of material, the time period will be constant. Here is another video that discusses that. kzitem.info/news/bejne/yZWbuGt8g5GnnoI This is all well documented stuff.

This is how we were able to accurately (within .01 degrees) get our latitude in South America without the use of gps. You need a compass and a theodolite, or some kind of device, even a piece of paper which has regular angles and can function as a sextet. Your back-sight direction is the compass' apparent north as close as you can get. When the sun comes up in the morning you have to measure the distance between true north and the center of where the sun rises on your horizon. As with all surveying the idea is to end up with a triangle, between true north, where the sun rises and the point you are currently at. In order to be accurate multiple observations must be made over several days, and you have to know what calender day and month it is where you are these things take a lot of the errors out of your observation. If you don't have the date, you can actually extrapolate it from doing lunar and stellar observations at night. It is a method that takes some basic hand tools but is truly the "old" school way to do it and how our ancestors navigated for thousands of years to colonize the entire earth. The sun moon and stars

Exactly! Now how does that show the shape of what you walk about on? Looking at the sky to find your position on the ground tells you nothing about the shape of the ground. You do appreciate that? You can be under a dome on a startionary, flat suface and your observations still work as you expect as long as the sky moves as you expect? Feel free to show why they don't. I suggest you do some investigation first. Try showing that the physical earth is actually moving with direct tests and I will start to be interested in what you say. It can be done! :)

It would depend on the flat earth model. If the model were stationary, then pendulum wouldn't precess at all (the plane of the pendulum wouldn't rotate). If the model were a spinning disk you'd definitely get a 24 hour period at the center (assuming it's spinning 360degrees per 24h). I'm pretty sure it would be same everywhere on the spinning disk. (Though it's been a really long time since I've done the math for this stuff)

Very good question and the answer is yes. It would make a complete 360° in 24 hours instead of the 31 hours shown in this video. And when it takes an infinite amount of hours (meaning, it does not turn at all, only swings back and forth), you know you are at the equator: There, the pendulum swings in the same plan as that of the earth's rotation.

Fire isn't only more interesting, it is almost essential as the start of the pendulum must be absolutely as smooth as possible for the experiment to work.

You can also easily tell northern or southern hemisphere by visiting the restroom and flushing a toilet and observing the direction of the Coriolis effect.

In my opinion the foucault pendulum does not at all prove the earth is spinning. For one thing, they tell us that everything spins with the earth, so with that theory the pendulum shouldn't move at all, it would just rotate with the earth, rotating the same speed as everything within the earths atmosphere and just draw a straight line, not a circle. There could be many other reasons why the pendulum rotates. Electro magnetism is just one other idea of many. If you are standing on the equator, you are supposedly spinning at just over 1000 miles per hour, If you took a plane and landed close to the north pole you'd be spinning at close to zero mph! are we supposed to believe that we can not feel or sense any kind of speed reduction or movement but in a car you can detect the slightest movement of reduction/acceleration? Im not buying it

+mojo jojo The key component of your last statement is that in a car you can feel the acceleration, not velocity. The force that you feel when a car speeds up or slows down is due to newton's second law, specifically that the sum of all of the forces acting on an object is equal to that object's mass times its acceleration, NOT velocity. You are correct in saying that there is a difference in velocity between the equator and the north pole, and if you teleported from the equator to the pole then you would most certainly feel the change in velocity. Using conventional transportation, the amount of change in your velocity per second, or acceleration, is far too minute for the human body to detect. This tiny acceleration is precisely why the pendulum takes so long to turn around. Oh and by the way, I want to complement you on your critical thinking about the differences in velocity between the equator and the poles. This kind of thinking is exactly what I look for in the physics students that I teach.

+mojo jojo It is not the speed of the Earth that effect the pendulum, but the period of rotation. The pendulum tries to swing in the same plane, but as the Earth rotates, the plane that the pendulum swings in appears to rotate from the Earth's perspective. If you did the experiment on either of the poles, it would swing back and forth in the same plane with the Earth rotating underneath it. So yes it does prove the Earth is rotating. Also, it cannot be caused by electromagnetism, since it will also work with a non metallic pendulum, which is not influenced by magnetism.

If the pendulum itself is attached to the earth, then the spin should have no effect on it if the pendulum that is moving freely is within the Earths atmosphere. I hope that makes sense as to what Im thinking. And if the pendulum isnt effected by the spinning atmosphere, then this would prove the Coriolis Effect bunk...which, I believe, it is.

+AbuserTube One more thing. It doesn't have to be metallic to be effected by electromagnetism. For instance salt water is greatly effected. Even regular tap water is slightly, but not as much as salt water

mojo jojo You are misunderstanding how it works. If you have the pendulum swinging in a large room the Earth's atmosphere is moving with the room and the pendulum. If you did it at the pole the pendulum would swing in the same plane, the room would rotate with the Earth as would the air in the room. The heavy pendulum would not be affected by the fact that the air in the room rotated with the room once per day. Air is too thin for it to affect the heavy pendulum. At the equator the air moves a the same speed as the Earth, so it would not affect the pendulum, and the rotation of the Earth also would not affect it there, so it would swing in one plane. At the south pole it would rotate over one day in the opposite direction as at the north pole. In between the poles and the equator, it would depend on the latitude. This has been proven over and over, as this video demonstrates. If the Earth did not rotate, then the pendulum would swing back and forth in one plane everywhere on the Earth.

Then why would the pendulum not just stay in a straight line? I guess physics is no concern of yours?

MyITRcom well that could be any number of reasons but it is confirmed that pendulums are affected by the "allais?" Effect, which makes them act weird. I've heard it say they go the wrong direction quite a bit of the time too. Basically the answer isn't totally clear but the results are not clear.

How do we know there's not a slight bias in wind direction on the pendulum?

lol...If this pendulum works how they say it works. You should be able to get in a helicopter in Charlotte NC. Lift off the ground for 3 hrs and land in California.

No, not true. The atmosphere moves with the Earth, and the helicopter moves with the air. Plus it has the same inertia as the Earth does. It doesn't just stop because it lifts off of the ground.

Unlearn and Relearn The pendulum isn't suspended by air, like the helicopter, so not a good comparison. If you put a Foucault pendulum at the North Pole and observed it from above the atmosphere, it would swing in one plane, with the Earth rotating under it. For an observer on Earth, the pendulum's angle of swing appears to rotate throughout the day. The effect of the atmosphere rotating once per day would be negligible. Comparing that to a helicopter that hovers within the atmosphere is ridiculous. The helicopter will move with the atmosphere since it has the same momentum as the Earth and the atmosphere moves with the Earth. Your first comment suggested that a hovering helicopter will for some reason not move with the Earth or the atmosphere, but stay in one place. If you take a model helicopter on a train and hover it, it would still move with the train, since it has the momentum of the train and the air inside moves with it. Get it?

(Flick Connection reviewed your channel and that’s why I’m here.) When I was in high school I fell into a trance when I saw the Foucault pendulum at the San Francisco Academy of Sciences. I stood there until that thing finally knocked over a stick of chalk. 40 years later, I established a pendulum from the highest point of the ceiling in my house. Didn’t work, but it was so cool just to try. I have the means to cast a 50 lb cannonball weight, but now I need to find a place to hang that sucker. Great video! It’s the first one I’ve watched. Onto the others now…

I did Foucault's years ago, with a 68 pound bucket of concrete in a stairwell. It worked fine. It fact it was rather amazing. The release was key and wound up using the burnt string method. Good luck.

That is true, but a longer rope means the bob doesn't go as high for the same horizontal displacement. Our pendulum was only moving up and down by an inch or so. If the rope had been shorter, it would have been a larger displacement.
