For those of you interested in the "why". There are an odd number of metronomes. This makes sure there's a force greater in one direction as 3/5 metronomes will swing that way. This exerts force on metronomes that aren't moving that direction, nudging them backwards from their momentum. This slight nudge backwards counters the pendulum effect causing the metronome to move further towards the side with greater force. Over time this will cause all metronomes to synchronize to the greater force pendulum. If you were to do this with four metronomes it might get interesting as 2 are going left, 2 are going right, but eventually friction in the bearings will force a side.

It has a smaller swing than the others and gradually gets greater until it matches the others. For anyone not understanding this the cans and board are the key. The board shifts slightly back and forth dampening some while adding energy to others until synchronicity is achieved.

No. It will happen regardless of the swinging base, it may just take longer to happen. Grandfather clock pendulums will synchronize, clocks in a clock store. Its from a morphogenic field.

All moving as though they are of one mind, making movements far to quick for each single animal to be independently sensing and making assessments at every fraction of a second.

More interesting yet is the how the far left metronome acquires more energy, so that it's period of swing becomes the same as the others, even though it started out slower. I wonder what would happen if the weights on the metronome arms were adjusted such that 2 metronomes had the longest periods, and 2 had the shortest, and the other 2 were randomly set.

You will have an average frequency of oscillation for the plateform. Then the more the frequency of à metronome is closer, the more it will have a higher level of oscillation, the more the frequency is far from the plateform, there wil be non sync interactions that will lower the level of oscillation of the metronome. It can become complex because every change in the level of oscillation for some metronomes with z given frequency should change the average frequency. You could have a chaotic system.

@nordinreecendo51211 місяців тому
I think this happens because the metronomes average out one direction, so if three swing left and two swing right, the average is swinging left, causing the platform to move in that direction and weaken the rightward swinging of the two metronomes. Eventually, those two are so weakened that they stop entirely, but then the motion of the platform causes them to swing again, this time in the direction of the other metronomes, thus causing them to sync up. This is just a theory though, I have no way to confirm or deny this, but it makes sense to me.

Its quite simple. When one of the metronomes swings a force is exerted on the bottles below which causes them to move. When multiple does that it moves in such a way that the small forces exerted on the bottles slightly alters the swinging motion of the metronomes until they eventually synchronize with each other.

The explanation for this is that the vibrations and kinetic energy of each metronome is transferred into the surface below which moves depending on the net force. This same force is disturbed back to each metronome. The most stable energy state is when they are all in sync with each other and not conflicting each other’s movement. When they eventually reach that state, they can’t get back out the cycle since it’s the most stable.

It's simple how it works and you can be sure it would not work on a flat fixed surface. Within the provided rolling plate form it sets up a oscillator circuit which influences each metronome.

It's interesting how different the feeling can be. For me, it's the other way around. Somehow I have "respect" for this effect here, in a rather negative, intimidating way. For me, the whole thing radiates something, like several different currents are switched to the same, until there is only one direction, to which everyone submits. That has something of a dictatorship. I know I'm exaggerating, of course, it was just about the vibes i get from this scientific phenomenon :)

Anyone not sure how this happens, look at what their on. Each action has an equal and opposite reaction. The force of the moving arm imparts the opposite action to the base. Since there are five of them this action is the sum of all five arms. To begin each is in a different phase, this makes each interact slightly differently with the motion of the base. Slowing or accelerating the arm. In time this interaction will cause each arm to be in-phase with each other.
