Synchronisation of 5 coupled metronomes done in Lancaster University, Physics Dep ( / lancasterphysics , Nonlinear dynamics and medical physics group. • Emails related to this video can be sent to: • a.bahraminasabNOSPAM at gmail dot com. • Some explanation by 'shoonya' which I think is pretty good: • Here you go: metronomes (or pendula ) when on table, oscillate with random phases, since that is how they started and they are uncoupled (no energy/information flows from one to other so they do not know each other.) When they are all together on the cans, notice that the cans themselves oscillate little, providing coupling/information crossover. which forces synchronization in periodic systems (discovered by Huygens in 17th century). • A useful book: Synchronization: A Universal Concept in Nonlinear Sciences by Arkady Pikovsky, Michael Rosenblum and Jurgen Kurths. • • A scientific article: http://scitation.aip.org/getabs/servl... • My personal homepage: • https://sites.google.com/site/alireza... • • Reference to the original video: • Spontaneous Synchronization
