@SportsfanK yes and input energy by bumping the pendulum when it began to come to a rest. Remember the period is independent of the displacement for a given length! Ingenious!
@maxpolaris99 yes, it is interesting but what about eating and all, weren't they tired? I do experiments on pendulums at school and 20 oscillations are annoying enough
Galileo had some really good friends if he got them to count pendulum vibrations for 24 hours

they counted the number of swings for 24h??!
Outstanding! I can recommend the book Galileo's Daughter by Dava Sobel. Great reading.
Very well put together and informative!
Wonderful as always!

This was a great video I just had to favorite it and shared it on Face-book :)
Fascinating stuff, I really enjoy these videos!
nice video!
And once again we are reminded about how the church has been standing in the way of scientific progress. Just saying...
