Synchronization of Metronomes
A version of Huygens original system provides an elegant classroom demonstration of how systems synchronize. The system consists of two pendulum metronomes resting on a light wooden board which sits on two empty soda cans, see picture above. The metronomes used are Wittner's Super-Mini-Taktell (Series 880), and were chosen because they were inexpensive and had a light base. The base supports were empty beverage containers (Mountain Dew, 12 fl. oz).
