Academy Pendulum Sales, formerly known as California Academy of Science Pendulums, specializes in the sale of Foucault Pendulum Displays that combine science and art to create captivating installations. With a rich history dating back to the 1950s, their pendulums can be found in museums, planetarium foyers, and universities, offering a beautiful blend of brass sculpture and motion that appeals to all ages.
These permanent display installations showcase the concept of a ball swinging constantly in the same direction while the Earth rotates beneath it, often enhanced by the ball knocking down pegs or turning on objects. Designers have the freedom to use their imagination and create new ways to demonstrate this effect, incorporating modern technologies and sensors in the floor to trigger the ball's motion. Academy Pendulum Sales offers comprehensive kits that include everything needed for installation, from the polished brass ball and suspension cable to the support tower, electronics control package, and educational wall plaque.
