Detail Page

published by the Exploratorium
This site from the Exploratorium provides a demonstration, using everyday materials, of the energy exchange between two coupled pendulums.  The site provides a thorough description of how the two pendulums interact and contrasts their motion.  The site also describes an easy to find the rate of energy exchange.
