Thanks to everyone who responded, sorry for responding so late; we've (me and Sato) just begun preparing for the event. Thank you for the response, this sounds like a good / viable idea! I have some questions: 1. How would we record each tick of the pendulum? Can you please explain your last remarks regarding the storing of counts in the three ring binder/excel? 2. How would we decide where to position each pendulum? Also, do you know of any resources that go more in depth about building the pendulum clock? This sounds interesting, but how would we power the runner/track? Any ideas for how such a set up would be built? With metal pieces, plastic, etc? Do you think that it would be a good idea to use our library's 3d printer to make this track, modeling it in a CAD? Could you elaborate on the set up with the track/runner as a fixed mark and the spinning protractor? Why would the runner be fixed? And in any of these cases, how would we be able to record the number of runs/passes? It would also be helpful if you could provide some material like tutorials/papers discussing the construction of such a clock. Thank you for the help! Why does this happen? How/why this happens and how we can prevent/predict it?

Hello all. This is Blake. I find science interesting (or course) and thought I should join this forum.
