Pendulum Art Machine

Discover the science of swing — with a pendulum-powered art machine you build yourself! Swing the platform, release the pen, and watch amazing automatic art unfold before your eyes. Experiment with switching up the speed of your pendulum’s swing, adding weight to the platform, adjusting the positions of the ropes, and more — and make bold new geometric designs every time! Then learn how to transform your finished spiral art into a variety of giftable (or keepable!) creations — from greeting cards to shrink-plastic keychains. Ready to get into the swing of things?
