We replicate Galileo’s experiments with pendulums following a new approach. Our pendulum apparatus is as faithful as possible to that used by Galileo, although he says very little about it. In addition, it is equipped with modern electronics and data acquisition systems which we use to build a computer model of the apparatus. The computer model is then simulated in order to investigate the robustness of our conclusions. e-books |

We replicate the famous experiment with balls rolling down an inclined plane that Galileo reports in Two new sciences. We especially study the spectrum of outcomes that the experiment produces when the parameters are varied. We investigate how Galileo formed the idea of a regularity behind the complex nature of appearances. e-books

We replicate a little known yet most ingenious experiment that Galileo offers. This is narrated in the “Added Day” of his monumental work, the celebrated Two New Sciences. Galileo provides the experiment based on a “percussion balance” to investigate the force of impact. |
