That big grandfather clock in the library might be an impressive piece of mechanical ingenuity, and an even better example of fine cabinetry, but we’d expect that the accuracy of a pendulum timepiece ...

This post has been sitting in my mind for quite some time. Really, it is about mechanics - not about pendulums. What is the goal in mechanics (classical mechanics, if you like)? Generally, it is to ...

The new device will still have the same size as the original Digimon Pendulum, but it will come with a lot of new features. Other than full-colored sprites, the device will have an internal battery ...

During Foucalt’s life it was already proven that the Earth rotated, thanks to experiments which showed that weights dropped from tall towers fell slightly to one side rather than straight down. This ...

Reaction wheels are useful things, typically used by satellites to keep themselves oriented the right way up in space. Turning the reaction wheel creates an equal and opposite torque in the spacecraft ...
