Part 2: Using a single two-wire pendulum, investigated whether a permanent “set” caused by an enforced pitch is observed, whether the effect was proportional, and whether an increase in “d” distance would decrease the permanent “set” for a given input displacement. Finer resolution repeat of the work in T080033, including with wires brazed into clamps. Effect still visible at smallest observable tilts.
This is one document of several exploring hysteresis and alignment issues in the quad pendulum. See related documents for the other documents in this study. T080033 is part 1 of this particular study.
