The world needs more people like you. Specially middle school teachers that can inspire kids. Where I'm from, science and mathematics are taught as far removed from application as possible with the "If you don't suffer it, it's not meaningful" type of mentality. Although I'm in a Spanish speaking country, I'm here to enjoy the well deserved growth your channel will surely see. Maybe someone down here will become infected, to use a nasty word to describe something wonderful. Well done, Sir.
thank you, I do hope that the information and ideas that I've gained over the years will be useful to others. My goal is to show that it's not that hard and it does motivate students. I appreciate your comment.
People like you, sir, is what we need to get kids interested in science so we can make a better world. Im a Chemical Engineer and im amazed with your work! Congrats
Bruce Yeany, you never cease to amaze. I am a PhD Student studying Chemical Engineering, and you make me wish I were a High School Physics teacher instead. Thanks for another wonderful video!
uhmm coolest science teacher ever! pay attention kiddos. These are the type of people you should see as role models. Follow your interests. Thanks for the video Bruce
GREAT STUFF" I really don't know why 55 people gave a thumb's down , anyone who shares knowledge is a icon in society ,Thanks Bruce what did I learn ,well for a start that there is a "h" in tumb
Bruce Yeany Hello again and thank you for yet another marvel of a video. I simply wanted to suggest that you make a note to the viewers that at around 4 minutes and 20 seconds (04:20) when you pull on the pendulum's string (reducing it's length) you also change the axis of your camera and the images are from the side profile, not from a bird's eye view. Given the com[plex nature of these patterns I found the omitted info left me confused for a while until I worked out the change in photography. Please keep posting your inspiring work. Cheers and all the best.
Thanks a lot! I love your experimentation, the simple but effective and analogue solutions you choose, and the structured but creative way of exploring a field. Very inspiring!
Hi Bruce. Im studying physics teacher in Argentina and im taking notes regulary of your experiments and experiences. Thanks and keep working! I hope be coolest teacher than you :)
HI Fran, nice to hear from you and that you are finding my work helpful, I hope to see you here on youtube, better than I am. Good luck with your studies
If teachers were like this guy, learning would b so much fun & easier. Keep up da good work & plz inspire ur students 2 b like u. This world needs teachers like u.
Amazing pictures! It´s really interesting: at some my mind told me that this picture should be 3D! In reality it was actually a (more or less) 2D movement, but just placed in the correct way, cool! Your experiments are so faszinating and inspiring, I love them!
Hey, Bruce! Wow, some of the patterns are real masterpieces!!! So complex and so beautiful at once... oO The "red/blue" ones remind me of 3D patterns... Oh, BTW, 3D could be an interesting topic for an upcoming video. What do you think? Thanks a lot for your awesome work over and over again! Big thumb up from me and best greets from France... = )
Great video Bruce, the effects with the sand were impressive, but with the light and long exposure camera, that was amazing! It reminds me of some of the patterns you can make using an oscilloscope and a couple of function generators.
I find all this videos quite interesting and another way to understand science, I'm more of the creative type of person, and I don't get stuff with just theory, I have to see it, in order to make it make sense for me, and this helps
I have a question, is this material in your curriculum or do you do these videos for another reason? Keep up the great work, we (your viewers) appreciate it a lot!
Thank you, probably about 1/2 of it is used in any one year in my curriculum, there is not enough time. Some of it I've used for extra programs or classes, quite a bit of it is for my own interest. This is 40 years worth of building and collecting materials, and still have quite a bit more to show.
With the lights, I keep thinking about how we observe celestial events and the amount of time it takes for us to perceive the light from the beginning of the event. Considering that we are mostly seeing ghosts of the universe when we observe the night sky because of the distance the light has to travel through space to our eyes and that the pendulum in the video is essential in "orbit" around the central pivot point (a planet orbiting a sun having gravity pull the planet toward its central mass [the weight of the pendulum being slowed down until it stops at the central pivot point]), it is plausible that a lot of the intricate designs offered by the universe is in fact a single object tracing its path allowing the deigns to form through light years of exposure. Much like the extended exposure time of the camera used in the video. Just some interesting things to ponder :)
It's interesting to apply the knowledge of those patters to the Lissajous patters I'm able to create with two signals into an oscilloscope. It now makes more sense.
Hey Bruce just stumbled across your videos, so cool! How are the final images ultimately captured? I see that you leave the shutter open but do you just take a picture like normal and that's what is captured?
Hi Nicholas, the room is dark and camera is mounted on a support right above the light hanging down on a fishing line string. I leave the shutter open for 1 to 5 minutes. most point and shoot cameras have this option
Great work Bruce..... My son (3 1/2 years old) and I are going to have a lot of fun testing out your experiments. All the way from Melbourne, Australia :)
I just watch this video and it shows the beauty of science. I tried to drow this pattern by computer programming before, manipulating the sine and cosine function on it. And that's very cool.
sorry, I didn't keep track but basically when the double support length is very small and the single support is long you get very fine patterns since the ratio of period movements are about the same and as the double support gets longer the pattern changes more quickly, best thing is to try it. I think you will be pleased with most every setting.
by taking pictures with a shutter speed of several minutes, the camera doesn't take the picture in an instant, but rather kind of "films" the motive for a while and puts it together into one frame that's useful for making very subtle and dim lights stand out clearly, for taking a photo of a night sky for example however, if you use it on a moving light source like this, the picture you're gonna get is a track of all the movements the light made while the picture was being taken.
As an artist, this is fascinating to me! Where would I buy the exact materials to create my own? I’d need as many specifics for each component as possible to I buy the correct items.
Hey Bruce! what would 3 strings at the top do to the pattern? you've tried 1 and 2, and 4 would just make the line shorter. It might have been covered in the first part, but thought I'd ask anyway. Keep making videos, we love them!
HI Corgi, in these first videos I kept the devices simple, I hope to record some more complex ones in the future. Haven't tried 3 or four strings and then a single string but I'll give it a shot. I do want to do a harmonograph type device which is a small table suspended by 4 strings and swings as a pendulum table, it has the additional movement of torque. I have one, just haven't gotten a chance to video it yet.
You are the only reason I actually pay attention to science.
STOP TRICKING ME INTO LEARNING.
(Please keep tricking me into learning)
Hi Summer, I think I have a few more tricks up my sleeve, I will keep them coming
Oh yes.
"Keep Summer safe (from learning)." (exterminate)
He is good at science

This should be displayed as art. Hats off to the teacher!
I love it thanks!
Wintergatan woaaaaahhhh you're here 😘 love your vids 👊
go build a machine stop watching youtube you genius
Excellent as always!
This is one of the few channels that makes me squeal with excitement when I get the notification for a new video!!!
People like you, sir, is what we need to get kids interested in science so we can make a better world. Im a Chemical Engineer and im amazed with your work! Congrats
I hope your students appreciate how lucky they are to have such a creative teacher!
Bruce Yeany, you never cease to amaze. I am a PhD Student studying Chemical Engineering, and you make me wish I were a High School Physics teacher instead. Thanks for another wonderful video!
How inspiring! You're a naturally gifted motivator. Thanks Bruce!
oh man. The creativity of it all. Love every second of this video.
uhmm coolest science teacher ever! pay attention kiddos. These are the type of people you should see as role models. Follow your interests. Thanks for the video Bruce
and thank you for your kind words
there is so much order and organization in nature (and science) its just too beautiful *_*
thank you for this!
GREAT STUFF" I really don't know why 55 people gave a thumb's down , anyone who shares knowledge is a icon in society ,Thanks Bruce what did I learn ,well for a start that there is a "h" in tumb
Just lovely. How a little bit of interest in doing something practically can yield such satisfying observations and results. :)
Oh wow, those shots were absolutely gorgeous!
I hope to someday be a teacher like you. thanks for so many experiments and everything else.

thanks Lank, a note now appears in the video
You got my 100% attention. Your detailed "how to do it" was very helpful, thanks.
Absolutely beautiful Bruce. Well done.
Thanks a lot! I love your experimentation, the simple but effective and analogue solutions you choose, and the structured but creative way of exploring a field. Very inspiring!
thank you Erik
Coffee, laser, Lissajous patterns... It's a good morning. Thanks.
genial profe, saludos desde argentina
science is a major part of our lives for us to explore the wonders of life.
Hi Bruce. Im studying physics teacher in Argentina and im taking notes regulary of your experiments and experiences. Thanks and keep working! I hope be coolest teacher than you :)
HI Fran, nice to hear from you and that you are finding my work helpful, I hope to see you here on youtube, better than I am. Good luck with your studies
Wow you made some very pretty patterns. I love long exposures.
Beautiful patterns of nature ♡ Thank you for sharing 😊
Wow I enjoyed this even more than the sand pendulum video!
Ho much fun and education students must get in your classes!
If teachers were like this guy, learning would b so much fun & easier. Keep up da good work & plz inspire ur students 2 b like u. This world needs teachers like u.
I can't wait for your next amazing video!
Beautiful!
You are such a great teacher! I wish college professors were like you.
this looks amazing. The one at 6:19 might be my favorite with 2 paterns in 1
I wish I had you as a teacher! Great videos!!
great teacher from ACHS... i actually paid attention.... thanks mr yeahney... cool videos
Man, you got some groovy music in this intro. I love it. Seriously. Oh, and the content is super cool also, as always. :)
thanks sir we proud you are our teacher

Wow, some of the patterns are real masterpieces!!! So complex and so beautiful at once... oO
The "red/blue" ones remind me of 3D patterns...
Oh, BTW, 3D could be an interesting topic for an upcoming video. What do you think?
Thanks a lot for your awesome work over and over again!
Big thumb up from me and best greets from France... = )
very pretty. Wish I had had a teacher like you!
Simply incredible

Well done. Another well done for documenting it and sharing it with us.
Most creative. Truly amazing. mind blowing.
This is a great demonstration of how parametric equations work too
I put 3D glasses on when he did the blue and red one and it actually worked lol.😃
Llc Funfun i was thinking about that. im glad it works
Great video!
Also, what's the song at 6:00?
It's called Happy Mandolin, free on youtube music
Bruce Yeany
Thanks
I am so glad I subscribed to you! My OCD soul thanks your for such great perfect patterns
This guy would be the best uncle dver
Thanks again for a great video!
I wish I was still at school and you were my science teacher !! 😀
Very awesome stuff!

Just some interesting things to ponder :)
Thats awesomeee. Im definetly trying this.
Awesome idea 🤙
That is so cool!
that's awesome, great science art !
The dual color ones look like the old red and blue 3D images. I wish I had a set of those glasses right now. :) That's really cool!
Beautiful. Waiting for the painting ;-)
It's interesting to apply the knowledge of those patters to the Lissajous patters I'm able to create with two signals into an oscilloscope. It now makes more sense.
Encore plus extraordinaire
amazing experiment. tanks mr
This is beautiful. I think I'll try testing it out sometime :)
Awesome ideas
Very neat!
Great idea, thanks
Beautiful
half of them look like galaxies and the other half look like Windows XP Screensavers
So true
Swingn' good!
Stunning. I know what I'm doing with my camera when the northern lights are being shy, I'm buying some LED lights!
Hey Bruce just stumbled across your videos, so cool! How are the final images ultimately captured? I see that you leave the shutter open but do you just take a picture like normal and that's what is captured?

thanks day tripper, nice to hear from Australia
Thanks for the wallpapers Bruce :D
excellent, I hope you had a high enough resolution, if not send me an email address and I will forward them at a higher rate
No problem, They look good enough :)
this satisfied me so much
ma shaa Allah..this is a very important inspirationnal experimant ..thank you sir
The 2x LED's from 3:31 might also look cool with 3D glasses !
I just watch this video and it shows the beauty of science. I tried to drow this pattern by computer programming before, manipulating the sine and cosine function on it. And that's very cool.
you are truly amazing
great stuff
♪you blinded me with science♪
Please be my science teacher
Hey Bruce, great video! Would you perhaps mind to go a bit into the mathematics behind those patterns in the future? That'd be really cool!
Do you have more details on rope lengths and how to get certain images
sorry, I didn't keep track but basically when the double support length is very small and the single support is long you get very fine patterns since the ratio of period movements are about the same and as the double support gets longer the pattern changes more quickly, best thing is to try it. I think you will be pleased with most every setting.
Excellent
Incredible
This was epical cool.
5:12 5:18 5:42 oscilloscope lassajous pattern
You sir are amazing
You can do the same on a oscilloscope
it is the same simple idea
does anyone know the song that starts playing at 2:24 ?
It is called Sunflower by Topher Mohr, it's here on youtube
th-cam.com/video/iT2DEA6p1cU/w-d-xo.html
How do you get those pictures like that? I don't understand all that camera stuff
by taking pictures with a shutter speed of several minutes, the camera doesn't take the picture in an instant, but rather kind of "films" the motive for a while and puts it together into one frame
that's useful for making very subtle and dim lights stand out clearly, for taking a photo of a night sky for example
however, if you use it on a moving light source like this, the picture you're gonna get is a track of all the movements the light made while the picture was being taken.
my mistake, I recorded that somewhere in there and then left it out in the final cut.
Luke The Duke light painting it's when the shutter speed that means how long the camera is aloud to capture light
A new art movement
That’s a great idea....
Bruce I think you should have saved this for last. it's way cooler and cleaner than the sand or paint will ever look.
oh, and it's amazing! thanks.
well, this is the first round for light pictures and I kept it simple, I have some ideas for future ones so hopefully the best is yet to come
Bruce Yeany can't wait!
As an artist, this is fascinating to me! Where would I buy the exact materials to create my own? I’d need as many specifics for each component as possible to I buy the correct items.
Hi Bruce, is it possible to use multiple V sections? perhaps at different angles and length.
it won't work with more than one V section, however, the next option is to hang piece of board as the table and allow that to swing
So cool :o
I would really like to see what happens in an environment with lesser gravity.
Hey Bruce!
what would 3 strings at the top do to the pattern? you've tried 1 and 2, and 4 would just make the line shorter.
It might have been covered in the first part, but thought I'd ask anyway.
