It
is well known that a pendulum's oscillation will eventually
come to an end due to air resistance and friction. Some modern
versions of Foucault's pendulum in order to preserve the oscillation
are equipped with an electromagnet which helps to counteract
the forces of friction and air resistance.
The pendulum at Ellinogermaniki Agogi has such an electromagnet
placed underneath the pendulum at the center of the disk. The
electromagnet does not move the pendulum it only gives a slight
"push" every 24 oscillations through an electromagnetic
pulse providing recouping all energy losses due to friction
and air resistance. This way the period of the pendulum remains
constant and the pendulum never stops oscillating.
