Ugears Stem Lab Pendulum
From Ugears
When and who invented it:
The first study of the pendulum was implemented by Galileo Galilei, an Italian engineer in the end of the 16th century. He described the property of the pendulum to preserve the consistency of the oscillations. The first person to use a pendulum in a mechanical clock and ensure a steady rate was a Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens back in the 17th century.
Usage:
Pendulums are mainly used in mechanical clocks as an element of a launch mechanism and the way to provide a steady rate. In the musical sphere, metronomes that have pendulums as their chief constructional element, help musicians practice playing to a regular tempo. Pendulums are also used in geological surveying, seismography, sports, and laboratory research in mechanics and physics.
The mechanism of the Pendulum is composed of:
- Escapement wheel
- Needle indicator
- The pendulum with the anchor
- Pendulum bob
- Model size: 4.5*3.3*6.6 in (11.5*8.3*16.7 cm)
- Package size: 8.1*7.4*2.5 in (20.5*18.8*6.3 cm)
- Number of components: 92
- Estimated time of assembly: 1-2 hours
