Let me ask you, Do you think the thought I present is feasible if in fact the earth is spinning?
Foucault used pendulum instead of free hanging weight because
we need something that will keep absolute orientation against
moving earth's coordinate system.
As I said, simple weight hanging will not work. There is no force that will
counter even the minimal friction in any kind of ball bearing.
If you increase mass, then the weight is increased, and the friction
in suspension is increased too, which pulls hanged weight stronger.
And you tried to exclude pendulum.
That's why I mentioned "gyroscope".
Hand made, because marine gyroscopes are too expensive, and small
gyroscopes I saw on the internet don't have motor.
But motors vibrate and can ruin the experiment.
So, go to nearest institute or museum that has Foucault pendulum and watch.
Or watch Eric Dubai's video where he says it doesn't happen the way you see it.
