A pendulum wave is a device that demonstrates the relationship between period and length in simple pendulums. Each pendulum has a slightly different length, causing them to oscillate at slightly different frequencies. Over time, the pendulums cycle through synchronized motion, traveling wave patterns, apparent chaos, and back to synchronization.

An interactive simulation of a pendulum wave — a set of pendulums with carefully chosen lengths that drift in and out of phase, creating mesmerizing wave patterns before eventually re-synchronizing.
