Take a moment when you have about two free minutes, and watch five metronomes synchronize themselves.
Some observations and questions:
- It's amazing how just a little rocking motion allows the energy to transfer between them, normalizing the motion.
- I wonder if you had several moving metronomes and a single stationary one, would the stationary one ever start moving? Would you need a lot of moving ones, like 20, 30, or 40?
- Although, as you used more, the weight of the board connecting them would start to absorb a lot of that energy...
- Maybe having heavier pendulums would help compensate?
Truly mesmerizing...
