The lower horizontal bar swings as a pendulum from the upper rod. All of the styro ball pendulums are driven by this motion but the styrofoam pendulum that has the same length as the upper bar pendulum will have a large amplitude since it has the same natural frequency as the hanging bar.

Description:

The lower horizontal bar swings as a pendulum from the upper rod. All of the styro ball pendulums are driven by this motion but the styrofoam pendulum that has the same length as the upper bar pendulum will have a large amplitude since it has the same natural frequency as the hanging bar.
