Cavendish Gravity Experiment Time Lapse Version 1

Due to environmental problems (air conditioner turning on and off with vent blowing on this apparatus), results from this experiment are compromised. Here is a revised, improved version: A qualitative demonstration of universal gravitation using a torsion balance. Unfortunately, this setup had too much uncertainty to be able to observe the desired changes. It also takes a really long time for any movement at all, so the observations one makes before seeing the high-speed video are tricky. In the summer of 2018, I’ll be building a large-scale apparatus in my home (where I can better control environmental conditions) which should allow me to make measurements precise enough to determine the value of the gravitational constant.
