AC Trickle Down.


Recommended Posts

Sorry - not impressed.

demonstrates a lack of understanding of basic physics! The ropes to each side of each swing are differnt lengths, so as per Gallileos observations will have different periods. In practice meand that the seat will twist as it goes back and forth. Makes it unpleasant to use even if decorative.

To make it functional there should be a rigid extended mount downwards so that fo aech swing the ropes are the same length...

I believe that's been addressed empirically, and that the sway (or moment) is minimal...

The best thing about this setup is that they swing in an arc! 

 

 

 

Just kidding......... I dropped one side of each seat down a touch to compensate.
