Weinhold’s apparatus with base for Foucault’s experiment

Hollow ball of mass of 4Kg and diameter of 10cm. It collaborates with the base as follows: We can fill the ball with glycerol or other viscous liquid and suspend it from thread of suitable length. During the oscillation the glycerin is poured from a special small orifice on the base. The shape created is associated with the Foucault pendulum and the Lissajous patterns. The heigh of the base is adjustable.
