Description:
A version of the device depicted in the Wheatstone_Foucault devie image, for the purpose of emphasizing certain characteristics. In this version of the device the small sphere corresponds to the bob of a Foucault pendulum. The inside spring corresponds to the gravitational force that is being exerted on the bob of the Foucault pendulum and the force exerted to the outside spring corresponds to the tension in the suspension wire of the Foucault pendulum.
