Coupled pendulum (longitudinal)

grabcad

The initial project was created using Autodesk Inventor 2014 for dynamic simulation purposes. The animation illustrates how gravitational force affects two pendulums, with one being launched at second 12 while the other remains motionless. As time progresses, the right pendulum slows down and transfers its kinetic energy to the left pendulum, causing it to oscillate more rapidly. This continuous energy transfer leads to an infinite oscillation cycle since no friction is applied. For those interested, you can access the project files and manipulate settings or even add 2D Contact joints for collision simulations.
