I am trying to place an atomic clock inside of a foucault pendulum. I then want to have 5 of them set up at key waypoints from the north to the south pole recording time inside of the pendulum as it swings. With this data from all the way points we can then observe how time inside of a pendulum may be different than time on earth. Or it could be a big waste of time period. But a fun pricey experiment I will try to conduct.

Whilst I'm all for experiments, I seuggest yoy would be better off reading this book first.
Particularly the chapters on Foucault and other pendulums, atomic clocks  and most important sunchronisation of a chain of clocks.

A brief History of Timekeeping.

How is your experiment going?
