Chapter 13, Clockwork
Short Pendulum
A swinging weight that switches its power on and off as it swings. One swing takes 1.4 seconds.
How it works
- It is a bob on a short rod. It is let go at the start of the run and swings under gravity.
- It is the quickest of the three pendulums.
- Its power is on while the bob is on the far side of the middle, so it pulses on and off with every swing.
- The bob is solid. It hits things with real force, but anything in its way slows it.
Tips
- Pick a short pendulum when you need quick, frequent pulses.
- Keep the whole swing clear. Build mode draws the arc.
