@@Mecharnie_Dobbs It's very possible. To give a brief explanation of how it works (oversimplified, obviously), it's a more advanced form of a Newton's cradle's entire gimmick. The when the chain of three hits the motionless ball, the momentum, aka force, pushes the three on the other side out. The lone ball also inflicts force on the other side of the motionless ball, sending it's shockwave in the other direction, but with only enough force to send the outermost ball outward. The reason the two opposite forces don't cancel each other out is because they're acting on a still object (but one with the capacity to move), so the single ball hits, sends it's shockwave to the idle ball, who passes it along just as it gets launched away as the set of three.
I actually know a person who managed to untangle a morbidly tangled pre-owned Newton’s Cradle. A theater troupe I worked for needed one as a prop for a play, and it was crucial for it to be functional. This absolute badass of a woman took a whole night, but she prevailed. Truly an inspiration
I just saw this now. 7 years late. Man why doesn't this have at least 1 million views? I'm amazed by the accuracy of the rhythm of the pendulum. Great video.
I mean the impressive part here isn't how he knows the properties of Newton's cradle, it's how well he catches the rhythm of the song and associates it with different motions of the cradle. I'm sure the creator of the pendulum performed all of the showed ways to operate it, but he definitely didn't have the music talent to make such a video.
I can’t believe I’ve actually just watched 2 minutes and 18 seconds of THIS. But also it is oddly satisfying and honestly I could watch this all day lol

I don't know how long it took you to make this but it was 100% worth it because I will look back at this at any point in my life and immediately feel happy so thank you 😆
oh man, I remember when RU-vid recommended me a video of a guy just capturing the scenery and a bear sitting near a river. Just approximately 5 minutes of B E A R
Newtons pendulum has always fascinated me, I've always wanted to know how it moves like that, but I've never had the attention span or brain power to learn how it works
I think the first part of the Wikipedia article on the Newton's Cradle (Pendulum) explains it pretty well: “The Newton's cradle is a device, usually made of metal, that demonstrates the principles of conservation of momentum and conservation of energy in physics with swinging spheres. When one sphere at the end is lifted and released, it strikes the stationary spheres, transmitting a pressure or sonic wave through the stationary spheres, thereby creating a force that pushes the last sphere upward. The last sphere swings back and strikes the nearly stationary spheres, repeating the effect in the opposite direction.” Basically it's just a demonstration of how energy is transferred, the energy of the motion and the strike transfers through all the spheres to the opposite end. At least that's how I can explain in the simple terms my limited knowledge of Physics can understand.
So it’s one of those times of the month again… …the YT algorithm finding a video that did well more than 5 years ago and deciding to give it a bump to everybody in the World again.
Why did I watch this whole thing I feel like I would be entertained for hours if I ever bought myself one of these, and I'd probably inadvertently learn something in the process
One of the few moments of my life where my jaw literally dropped. Absolute insanity. Makes me thankful for youtube to exist that i could witness this. Also really says something about why we like periodic and rhythmic sounds in the form of music in the first place, there's something fundamental about timed patterns that attracts us
I though this would be 2½ minutes of watching a pendulum. Never actually played with one and have only ever seen one with the outer balls doing the moving. Some of those combos of movement/energy transfer were really cool. I kinda want one now
Imagine how Newton would feel if he knew that approximately 300 years in the future a pendulum named after him will be used to cover the biggest meme of early 2010s.
When did Rick rolls start? They might have been smaller at the time, but they had a bigger impact overall. I only heard Gangnam style once in at least the last 4 years other than this old video, and that was when I was traveling to Italy and a pizza place in Venice played it so not even in America where I live
Never thought I could be impressed with a newton's cradle, but 1:21 was dope. I guess you should never underestimate the ability to be entertained by the basic laws of physics.
school: you devide the ghcethecdtehftedhtcdeh with the edghdethedtdeht and it comes out as tyewhydyhedyddyhyh (after 3 years you learned. Xmphysics: M U S I C V I B E (after a single song you learned.) Moral of the story: dont go with physics. Vibe with physics
this proves the vast varieties of ways a pendulum can be used. the use of gangnam style makes the reader have something to listen to, which is the main point of this video. without it, many would get bored and click off. but the viewer is mesmerized by how the pendulum matched the songs beat perfectly, and is left eagerly awaiting the next formation. this is truly a masterpiece
I didn't know there was this many different ways you can play with a Newton's Cradle also I appreciate how it lines up with the music thank you for that
It's been 7 years since this was released, and I was just a kid back then. It's crazy how this dude decided to just make this outta the blue. My mans went full out: 'I wanna pick up a new instrument '
Whoa!!! THIS IS REALLY COOL! As a student who studies physics, I've never seen such a fabulous demonstration for newton's cradle like that! Absolutely brilliant, and fun! Just by watching the patterns, we see how special the law of physics here is!
@@MannyXVIII Even theoretical? Since "nerdy" replies are allowed, by him saying "here" he was being specific to this particular example, or here could apply to time, Einstein had theories and proved them, so at one point in time those "physics" were unknown but since proven, imagine what exists that we can't even conceive yet. :)
The amount of joy I felt watching balls smack each other in time to Gangnam Style is WAY higher than it has any right to be. I sat there grinning for the whole video moving my head in time with them.
The concept demonstrated by this is the conversation of kinetic energy with masses undergoing totally elastic collisions. This means that every time something collides with another, all of the KE (a quantity involving mass and speed) will be transferred to the other balls. For example, when 2 balls hit the 3 other balls, the 3 balls absorb all of the kinetic energy, enough to allow 2 of the 3 balls to continue moving. It’s important to note that this is only possible as there is no kinetic energy dissipated into other forms (such as heat or deformation energy). Otherwise the balls would either stick together when they collide or retain some speed after colliding (inelastic collision). This is not to be confused with conservation of momentum, which is a similar concept
@@eagleyia2907 yeah, I think it is, but decided not to talk about it since conservation of momentum requires no external forces on a system, and newton cradle has gravity acting on it at all times. Also I made this comment without doing any extra research, I just commented using my existing knowledge, so I probably missed out on a few other points.
The BPM of the song is 130 bpm. The balls hit each other to the beat of the music, meaning that each beat is half of the period. 130 beats per minute mean that one beat happens every 0.462 seconds. This leads us to know that the period is twice that or 0.923 seconds. Since the period is also equal to 2pi sqrt(L / g), and since such ingenuity could only happen on the planet Earth, with a gravity of 9.8 m/s^2, we can calculate that the length of the string that the balls are attached to is 0.212 meters or 8.33 inches. xmphysics, if you still have the cradle, tell me if I got this right.
I scroll so many pages to you see, you user and. Hello ----------------------------------->fellow Canada I see you haven't pay your taxes I might say you getting taxes to the jail sooner or later
@@RWFidelity I see your not viewing the problem correctly. Hello--------------------------------->We, fellow taxes invansion are trying to get rid of the none taxes people on our Canada land. if you meant as a person please refer as an "Canada traxes" It means the fellow people "none taxes" got..... we weren't allowed to share what they did with the people. From: THE IRS
I don't know why I'm seeing this 7 years later, but Newton's Cradle adds a beautiful new layer to this already perfect piece. It deepens the song exponentially. You sir, are a mastermind.
Some of the beats are actually mesmerizing. I never imagined I would bop my head to beats made from a pendulum while Gangnam Style is being played. Good job.
