The pendulum should be able to consitently make a rotation that can be predicted using physics with real life calculations and with 2D modeling on the Working Model 2D software. More information on the design process can be found on the main webpage: Design and Control of Kinetic Sculptures.Â
The most important outcomes was being able to create a kinetic structure in a week, using both metal and acrylic tools such as the drill press and more common tools such as the hammer and electric drill.
