The oldest Foucault Pendulum in Romania is located in pavilion B of the University of Oradea. It was installed in 1964 by Prof. Coriolan Rus, the then dean of the Faculty of Mathematics - Physics.

The Foucault pendulum or Foucault's pendulum is a simple device named after French physicist Léon Foucault, conceived as an experiment to demonstrate the Earth's rotation. If a long and heavy pendulum suspended from the high roof above a circular area is monitored over an extended period of time, its plane of oscillation appears to change ...
Dr. Leonid Savrov of the Sternberg Astronomical Institute built a dedicated paraconical pendulum to test the Allais effect during the solar eclipse of July 11, 1991 in Mexico and the eclipse of November 3, 1994 in Brazil. While he could not observe Allais's claim that there is a diurnal periodicity in the motion of a paraconical pendulum, he ...
A pendulum is a body suspended from a fixed support such that it freely swings back and forth under the influence of gravity. When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting, equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back towards the equilibrium position.
The pendulum has swung from a time of often mindless naivete to an equally dangerous pernicious negativity. Many contemporary approaches to history define civilization around simplistic forces of ...

Fig. 2 - Center of mass on a massless leg travelling along the trunk trajectory path in inverted pendulum theory. Velocity vectors are shown perpendicular to the ground reaction force at time 1 and time 2. The inverted pendulum theory of gait is a neuromechanical approach to understand how humans walk. As the name of the theory implies, a ...
