Foucault pendulum with a 67-m-long wire from the dome of the Panthéon, Paris. The plane of the pendulum's swing rotated clockwise approximately 11.3° per hour, making a full circle in approximately 31.8 hours. The original bob used in 1851 at the Panthéon was moved in 1855 to the Conservatoire des Arts et Métiers in Paris. A second temporary installation was made for the 50th anniversary in 1902. During museum reconstruction in the 1990s, the original pendulum was temporarily displayed at the Panthéon (1995), but was later returned to the Musée des Arts et Métiers before it reopened in 2000.

Kapitza's pendulum become stable in Kapitza's pendulum. The rotating solutions of the Kapitza's pendulum occur when the pendulum rotates around the pivot point at the same frequency that the pivot point is driven. There are two rotating solutions, one for a rotation in each direction. We shift to the rotating reference frame using formula_59 and the equation for formula_39 becomes: Again considering the limit in which formula_5 is much higher than the proper frequency formula_38, we find that the rapid-formula_5 slow-formula_65 limit leads to the equation: The effective potential is just that of a simple pendulum equation. There is a stable equilibrium
