Impulse Pendulum with Adjustable Pivot Point for Measuring Coupling Coefficient

摘要

An impulse pendulum with significantly increased sensitivity compared to its predecessor is described. The problems associated with its predecessor are discussed and other pendulum designs are also presented. The design approach for the new pendulum is then presented along with the current mechanical design and photographs of the finished pendulum. The pendulum's performance is presented compared to its predecessor. Finally, other embodiments of the approach are presented.
