Simple by design, this set conveys many complicated physical science concepts. The coupled pendulums transfer energy to each other through a thin cord, which couples them. The global motion then corresponds to the superposition of two oscillations - the center of mass motion and the relative motion of the pendulums. This highly efficient setup allows you to easily introduce the normal modes of oscillation. Includes two threaded rods, two pendulum spheres, and a string.
