SHM Lissajous

Drawing/projecting mechanism - operates by twin elliptic harminic motion. The movement of a pendulum and its deflecting pendulum result in a fine point scratching a fine layer of carbon off a sheet of glass. With the aid of an overhead projector, this process is transferred into a live optical drawing. The drawings produced are always different and cannot be determined. The images are the result of tracing the natural movement of objects affected by gravity, and are visualisations of a truly universal force. Some of the drawings made can be seen in 'Lissajou light drawings' in the 'work list' menu.
