Information on Barton's pendulum

[garytse86]

Has anyone got information and analysis of Barton's Pendula? I searched for it on the internet but unfortunately cannot find anything at all.

Please help.

Thanks so much.

Hi, I found the following link:
http://www.physics.umd.edu/lecdem/services/demos/demosg2/g2-12.htm

When googling, use "barton's pendulum" as a searchword, rather than "pendula".
(Or at least, that's what I did)

Thanks. I have looked at this page, but do you know if there are any sites with more detailed explanation and analysis of this?

googling a bit further (I have no prior knowledge of this), I found the following:
