Free hanging pendulum

I have asked this a couple times in other threads, namely ones relating to people talking about toilets going one way or another. and you are quite right to say that you can make the water go whatever way you want in the toilet very easily.


So how about a free hanging pendulum (and this is an experiment any of you can do). If you start a free hanging pendulum swinging it will, over time, exhibit the corealis effect (this was orginially tracked by having the pendulum track through sand, but in these modern days it would be easier to demonstrate with a camcorder and using fast forward).


my question is one of why how and whereforth does this happen in the FE model.

This would be a good experiment to do, but the flat earth would also be spinning around under the swing of the pendulum, so the corealis effect will be the same as on a round earth.  The only way to differentiate the results from the results of a flat earth would be to do the same experiment on the other side of the equator, where the swinging rotation would be reversed.
So it would take two people to try this out, one on either side of the equator.

well to be honest with the internet it would only take someone on this place to be in australia and have a video camera, and someone in america to do the same, then post it on the web (of course it would have to be at something like 50x speed since it would probably take about a day to see definitive motion.

If the flat earth is in fact spinning it would infact not be flat at all. It would be concave. Also the atmosphere would be flung off into space, so either the earth is not spinning or there is a dome keeping the air in place. This would result in the barometric pressure on an average being higher at the outer rim than in the center.

And if the earth is flat, then what makes the focault pendlum stand still at equator?

am i not going to get an answer for this?

This is the by far the best point anyone has ever made on this forum, congradulations.

I don't think anyone would have ever thought of this

still waiting for a responce for why it would rotate a different way south of the equator than north.... still not received one.

And, yes, this has been found to be one of the flaws in FE, so don't hold your breath in waiting for an explanation as to how it works on a Flat Earth, DrQuak.

I will reserve any response until I see evidence that this actually occurs. You said yourself the experiment would be simple to do, so why doesn't someone do it?

Alright then... anyone here live in australia?

actually i found an easier way.... unimportant are you prepared to take a driving trip?


you live in Washingtion DC right?


go to this place in New hampshire: Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH
 

then drive to one of these places in Florida:

    * The Brevard Museum, Cocoa, FL
    * Florida State University, Orlando, FL
    * John Young Museum, Orlando, FL
    * Miami Dade Junior College, Miami, FL
    * Midland Centre for the Arts, Midland, FL
    * Museum of Science and History, Jacksonville, FL
    * University of South Florida, Tampa, FL


preferably the one that is furthest south from you

at both of them is a Foucault Pendulum, the one in the north in (new hampshire) will transverse round its arc faster than the one in Florida.

then you can come back to me and explain this using a flat earth.

and if you want to see it change direction, i'm afraid you're going to have to go to austrailia (or set up your own in the south of brazil)


but i feel that the florida and the New Hampshire trip should be enough proof.

can only assume that unimportant has taken my advice and gone on said road trip...

so.... any FE'rs willing to explain this effect?

No silly, I have a job and can't take off just to go willy nilly traipsing around the eastern seabord looking for pendulums.

I'll go this weekend.

hehe fair enough

we don't have "toilets" in Australia. Our "bog" is a tin shack with a hole in the ground. :curses being australian:

so.... did anyone take a trip to there local penduliii?

Or fill a tub up with water and the pull the plug.

It'll drain in a different direction depending on the side of the equator you're on.

encypto you can easily make water flow whatever way you want down a drain, the corealis force is a verry weak one.

you people are such sheep. you think those pendulums would behave so oddly by themselves? you think water going down a drain has anything to do with the earth spinning?

things like pendulums and bathtub drains were built by the government to whitewash the truth. Thats right, mechanized propoganda, right under your nose.

make a point or dont post

It wouldn't be trolling if it had a point.

I'm sorry if you think i'm a troll, but I honestly believe what I said

Then gallileo set up your own pendulum. All you need is a large peice of rope and a lead weight at the end of it. Of course it is preferable to have a motor on it to keep the motion going, however that is not really necesarry.
