Title: Syncronizing Metronomes
Post by: Chillheimer on June 11, 2015, 10:35:59 AM
64 Metronomes
1 Table  (able to swing on the same axis as the metronomes)

Its a feedback loop, a recursive process.
Each metronome is giving and receiving feedback (kinetic energy) from all other metronomes, connected through the movable axis of the table.
Essentially it is this what happens:

works also on a much bigger scale.. ;)

self oscillations has to do with the solutions to the denominator of the transfer function, I was taught in college  :D
