A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission âthe materialâis limited.Therefore, oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position.his energy propagates in the same direction as the wave. Any kind of wave (mechanical or electromagnetic) has a certain energy. Mechanical waves can be produced only in media which possess elasticity and inertia. A mechanical wave requires an initial energy input.
The Large Pendulum Wave is a kinetic light art installation based on physical laws. There are no tricks (such as additional motors) involved. The Pendulum Wave is a physical phenomenon based on a number of independent pendulums that are very accurately adjusted concerning swinging period (or frequency).On a steady frame 15 pendulums are mounted. Each pendulum can swing independently from each other.he Pendulum Wave is a physical phenomenon based on a number of independent pendulums that are very accurately adjusted concerning swinging period (or frequency).
