Circumnavigating Pendulum Model

Circumnavigating Pendulum Model is a software that displays the dynamics of a mechanical oscillator in uniform circular motion.

The mechanical oscillator is free to move in two directions.  Circumnavigating Pendulum Model displays all the dynamical features of the Foucault pendulum, except for the dependency of the Foucault pendulum precession on latitude.  

Circumnavigating Pendulum Model shows simultaneously the motion with respect to the inertial coordinate system, and the motion as seen from a co-rotating point of view.
