Pendulum

Concept

A wave of pendulums, each slightly longer than the last. The periods differ just enough to create patterns that emerge, dissolve, and emerge again — order from simplicity.

Interaction

Click to release the pendulums in unison. Watch patterns form. Space to pause. Drag left/right to adjust time.

Physics

Each pendulum follows T = 2π√(L/g). The difference in lengths creates phase relationships that cycle through alignment every ~60 seconds.
