Foucault Pendulum Interactive Exhibit: How to Visually Prove Earth’s Rotation?

Have you ever wondered how to visually prove that the Earth rotates? Zigong Zhongqing’s interactive Foucault Pendulum exhibit transforms this classic scientific experiment into a breathtaking immersive experience!

The Foucault Pendulum consists of an extra-long suspension cable, a precision counterweighted ball, and a laser trajectory demonstration system. The pendulum swings continuously without external interference, while a dial at the bottom clearly indicates a clockwise deflection of 11 to 15 degrees per hour—direct evidence of the Earth’s rotation! Combined with light-shadow effects and explanatory panels, the installation allows visitors to marvel at the mystery of the Coriolis force.

The original design of the Foucault Pendulum was driven by the scientific pursuit of visually demonstrating Earth’s motion. In 1851, French physicist Léon Foucault first used this device to publicly prove the Earth’s rotation. Building upon this classic principle, Zigong Zhongqing integrates modern laser trajectory tracking technology to visualize the pendulum’s swing path, helping visitors intuitively understand the relationship between inertial and rotating reference frames.

No complicated operation is required—simply observe and experience the wonders of science. This exhibit is particularly suitable for science museums, planetariums, school science galleries, and public spaces, making it a landmark installation that inspires scientific thinking.
