Harmonic Pendulums in Kangaroo and Grasshopper

Inspired by this video: http://sciencedemonstrations.fas.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k16940&pageid=icb.page80863&pageContentId=icb.pagecontent341734&state=maximize&view=view.do&viewParam_name=indepth.html#a_icb_pagecontent341734

I decided to create a simulation of the same in Grasshopper and Kangaroo. It's a series of uncoupled pendulums with lengths that increase in such a way that they each oscillate a whole number of times in a given period, producing harmonic motion.

Hey Danny - 

 

Producing the animation took ages, so I'm not going to make one of the top view, which is not so visually interesting... basically just a sine wave changing its frequency. However, if you'd like to see for yourself, I'd be happy to post the definition, I just have to clean it up a little bit first.

Can you post a view from above?
