Mesmerizing Video of A Pendulum Wave Constructed With Bowling Balls

This hypnotic video shows a large-scale pendulum wave demonstration built with bowling balls strung on a huge wooden frame.

As onlooking children ooh and aah, the balls, strung from gradually increasing lengths, interweave and demonstrate how the increasing periods produce a cycle of waves that slowly takes the balls back to their original position as they swing at different speeds.
