Is this one example the globe people base the Earth spinning in space on, a pendulum swinging? When in fact the Earth could be stationary and the sun and the moon and the stars, could all be orbiting the Earth. I think you guys should drop this notion and use something else to show the Earth is spinning in space. Maybe a real picture of the Earth spinning taken from one of your satellites. Maybe they should have taken a real video when they went to the moon. I wonder why they didn't? They had real video cameras back then.
The pendulum works fine and an image wouldn't since in the other thread you are claiming the picture of the earth from a satellite shows a flat earth.

I said a video, not an image. You're probably right though, The Earth is certainly not a spinning ball in space. The sooner you realize that, the better off you're be.

Maybe i'm all wrong about this pendulum thing. My understanding is:
inside a building hangs a chain of some sort with a plumb-bob attached to the end of the chain. On the floor is a round platter with pegs positioned on the outside edge of the platter and they will fall down when hit. The plumb-bob hangs down so it is centered in to the platter and it is also on a swivel so it can rotate. The plumb-bob is also able to swing back and forth the entire distance of the diameter of the platter.  Now, as the Earth rotates 360 degrees, the swing of the plumb-bob will knock down a peg ever so often until it has swung around the 360 degree of the platter and 24 hours has passed. At this point all the little pegs will be knocked down and one complete day has ended. Thus proving the Earth is spinning. Do I pretty much have it correct?

I think he means "pole" - still doesn't make any sense however.

Ahh, true.

A pole falls straight in the direction it falls as long as no other forces affect it. So that only disproved your point.
What it demonstrates is centre of gravity dictates.  A stationery plumb bob hangs to its centre of gravity. If you move it off its centre , then continues new centres of gravity are established in relationship to the bob & line supporting it whilst its in motion  . This motion & shifts in centre  establishes a resistance due to fall & directional momentum in the bob & line, which then transfers the created torque back to  the pivot point. A pendulum never swings back & forth in a straight line .

Since the pole falls straight then the center of gravity (and mass) has to be stationary, otherwise it would change it's direction. And those centers don't just change like that at random. And it still falls straight, which shows that as long as no other forces are introduced then things will continue on straight. Such as pendulums.
Rubbish, if you remove the friction at the bottom of the pole . Then the pole just dosen't topple over, the bottom of the pole slides to balance its self out to the poles centre to gravity. To claim there is no torque being created at the pivot point , when a  bob  is set in motion .is just a flat out lie.
Take a plumb bob , hold the line with your thumb & index finger.now set the bob in motion.  Then tell me if you feel a force , at where your holding the line . That force you feel .some of which gets converted to torque. You cant have a change in direction of force with out creating torque at the pivot point , in the real world. Fantasy land well thats a differant story .

Let add some truth, the pendulum only travels in a straight line to its direction of travel. Every time its direction is reversed it creates torque at the pivot point & its line of direction changes & it keeps that straight line of direction. Till its direction is reversed, torque again & so on &so on till it eventually hangs stationery.

Bold text. Ohh, so NOW you say it?  ::)

The pole will still fall straight. It won't turn to any side. The torque acts on the exact same 2D plane as gravity. It doesn't change direction along a third axis, which Foucaults pendulum does. And it is in no way comparable to a pendulum anyways. The pivot doesn't experience the same forces as the bottom of a pole standing on a surface falling over. Of course it get's some torque, but again it acts in the same 2D plane that the pendulum swings in, there is no third axis that it'll move in.

You dont need me to provide you any mathematical equations.  You only have to use their's.  The torque is replaced with the rotating earth nonsence in the hypothesis.  Read their own explanation for useing a long line & a very heavy bob.why ? to negate elliptical orbit being visually noticed . If you set a swinging bob in a deliberately obvious elliptical motion . It will form a synchronized pattern in its swing . That would not occur with out torque at the pivot point , to maintain the timing of rottation of the  pattern.

I can't see how REers can believe this Foucault Pendulum thing proves the Earth is spinning 1000 mph. Yet they also believe the Earth orbits the sun at 67,000 mph and it whirls around the center of our galaxy at 490,000 mph and yet with all this whirling and moving that pendulum keeps on swinging back and forth keeping perfect timing that proves to them that it is the real deal and is a perfect representation of the Earth spinning 1000 mph. In my head, I think that the pendulum would be swinging every which way because of the Earth's movement around the universe. I guess it is just me though.

Earth's rotation is the cause for the greatest change in rotation in space (space as in room) of objects on earth. It has nothing to do with accelerations or speed. And the only thing it proves is that earth is rotating. The reason the pendulum rotates, for you who have not realised it yet, is the pendulums rotation in space (space as in room) relative to earth. As the pendulum swings back and forth it swings along a certain 2-dimensional plane. As earth rotates it applies a rotating force on every object (that is in contact with the ground) on it that keeps those objects rotation stable relative to earth. The pivot of the pendulum is also subjected to this force, as is the weight, and the whole pendulum rotates with earth. BUT this force does not accelerate the pendulum in any direction, as the forces rotating the pendulum balance each other out. This means that the pendulum keeps it's motion. It's because there is NO force that changes it's motion, so it keeps it's motion along the same 2-dimensional plane.

I will answer the topic of the thread  like you ask.
The Foucault pendulum is a piece of scientific apparatus specifically designed and built to deceive and mislead. It is literally a “humbug” – a sham, a fake, a fraud, an artifice, a pretence, a hoax – and I believe it should be exposed as such. But the Foucault pendulum is more than a hoax. It is actually a religious propaganda tool. Most of the ones that do work are forced to do what they do, rather than doing what comes naturally. The only kind of Foucault pendulum which would not be a fake would be one that was free-swinging, operated properly without any gyroscope, device to guide the wire along a certain direction and anyone could simply hang a plumb-bob from the ceiling, give it a swing and it would swing back and forth in a circular direction long enough that a person could mathematically determine that if there were no air resistance it would theoretically  travel a complete circle in twenty-four hours.

You cant just replace a force with whatevery you want. Lol thats what your hypothesis has done , by claiming the earth is rotating & working to that assumption & exscluding all other reasoning. Your maths has been worked to start with the hypothesis the  earth is rotating to begin with. Not to find out if that is the true reason. By the way evey time  the bob reverses direction .its a change in force. Every time it clims against gravity , its a change in force. You seem to be the one wanting to replace the forces at work , not me .

Re: How could you explain the Foucault Pendulum ?

I can't see how REers can believe this Foucault Pendulum thing proves the Earth is spinning 1000 mph. Yet they also believe the Earth orbits the sun at 67,000 mph and it whirls around the center of our galaxy at 490,000 mph and yet with all this whirling and moving that pendulum keeps on swinging back and forth keeping perfect timing that proves to them that it is the real deal and is a perfect representation of the Earth spinning 1000 mph. In my head, I think that the pendulum would be swinging every which way because of the Earth's movement around the universe. I guess it is just me though.

Earth's rotation is the cause for the greatest change in rotation in space (space as in room) of objects on earth. It has nothing to do with accelerations or speed. And the only thing it proves is that earth is rotating. The reason the pendulum rotates, for you who have not realised it yet, is the pendulums rotation in space (space as in room) relative to earth. As the pendulum swings back and forth it swings along a certain 2-dimensional plane. As earth rotates it applies a rotating force on every object (that is in contact with the ground) on it that keeps those objects rotation stable relative to earth. The pivot of the pendulum is also subjected to this force, as is the weight, and the whole pendulum rotates with earth. BUT this force does not accelerate the pendulum in any direction, as the forces rotating the pendulum balance each other out. This means that the pendulum keeps it's motion. It's because there is NO force that changes it's motion, so it keeps it's motion along the same 2-dimensional plane.

Okay master, if you want to believe this contraption proves the Earth spins so be it. I just tried to reason some sense in you. You are simply a lost cause.

Can you explain using a flat earth why the foucault pendulum work then, which happens to also be the topic of this thread.

I will answer the topic of the thread  like you ask.
The Foucault pendulum is a piece of scientific apparatus specifically designed and built to deceive and mislead. It is literally a “humbug” – a sham, a fake, a fraud, an artifice, a pretence, a hoax – and I believe it should be exposed as such. But the Foucault pendulum is more than a hoax. It is actually a religious propaganda tool. Most of the ones that do work are forced to do what they do, rather than doing what comes naturally. The only kind of Foucault pendulum which would not be a fake would be one that was free-swinging, operated properly without any gyroscope, device to guide the wire along a certain direction and anyone could simply hang a plumb-bob from the ceiling, give it a swing and it would swing back and forth in a circular direction long enough that a person could mathematically determine that if there were no air resistance it would theoretically  travel a complete circle in twenty-four hours.

The question is why it works. Why does the pendulum seem to rotate? We assume of course a free hanging one without any motors what so ever inside a room with minimal air movement and that is pretty heavy, which "drowns" any other force. Why does it work on a flat earth?
Math is the language of the universe.

The inability to explain something is not proof of something else.

We don't speak for reality - we only observe it. An observation can have any cause, but it is still no more than just an observation.

When in doubt; sources!

Gyroscopes ?

Gyroscopes...

Gyroscopes were invented by Foucault, the Foucault's pendulum inventor. Why ? To measure the rotation of the Earth. When ? One year after he built his pendulum. ;)

You can buy one if you want, so you could study the interior parts, and see there are no mechanisms inside designed to fake Earth's rotation.

One of these tricky old pendulums requires care to manage, because imprecise construction can cause additional or retarded veering. If there is deficient animation, it will dampen the oscillation, so these pendulums incorporate a "little electromagnetic drive" or "other" to keep the bob swinging along in its unique patterns of swing, and some will be restarted regularly. They typically will have special rigging, recessed and hidden, at the top that will also help them to sway a certain way.

As Marshall Hall described the one at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, at the very top of the pendulum, next to the cable mounting, there is a small motorized pin that always stays horizontally opposed to the cable. This pin rotates very slowly (also as it depends on latitude), so as to always ensure the pendulum’s reliability when hitting the little radial teeth below, once every hour, as it swings back and forth; and the pendulum is cranked up every morning by the caretaker, or the monkey and the engineer.

The pivot mounting at the top permits the bob to waggle slowly over the cumulative degrees. There is a little ring through which the cable descends that determines the arc of the bob’s gradual swinging motions. The cable through the ring will become visibly off centered, after a while, and will be pulled to another edge from time to time, renewing a full swing, when the pendulum appears to be running down.

After being reset, the cable holding the bob can be seen to twist and jerk. Viewed up close, the bob can be seen to twist one way and then the other, like it has been wound up like a little swing on a playground and then let go. The little noticeable off-center positions of the cable, through the arc-controlling ring, are a feature which helps give momentum and bias in the direction of the slowly curving oscillations.

They may vary in some details of design, but, nevertheless, they are all driven, damped, and tuned. If they are not tweaked, the bob tends to lose its pattern, and it becomes difficult to see the precession. Thus Foucault pendulums are not truly free-swinging pendulums. They are damped, constrained, and charged up by design. Unlike other pendulums that anchor the weight in one plane, a Foucault pendulum allows the anchor to rotate. The pivot mounting at the top, at the suspension point, lets the weight swing in any of an infinite series of vertical planes. So the plane of the pendulum will rotate around a full circle over a given period of time.
