The Factotum Spirit Pendulum from Subversive Circuits

Postby Tomo » Mar 9th, '11, 14:53



This is a very early test video of a soon to be released product from Subversive Circuits. Originally developed for a top US seance performer, we have acquired the rights to develop it into a full product. The base on the production version will be slightly bigger at 4x4 inches, the pendulum will hang centrally, and the whole thing is self contained.

The new video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJNUcZdu_aU

Invoke not reason. In the end it is too small a deity.

Yup. You can make it swing left-right, back-forth, clockwise, counter-clockwise and even bring it to a halt. Thanks so some very clever real time software that took literally months to develop, the pendulum doesn't "snatch" either when you activate it.

Can the pendulum be taken off the hook? Could I replace this pendulum with one of my own?

Yes and yes!

Because it used Hydra technology, the Spirit Pendulum is also compatible with the complete range of Hydra sensors.

Yes, it'll respond to all the different sensor types. You don't need the Hydra receiver for this prop.

No problem. I've added a new one showing the production base: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJNUcZdu_aU

The link in the initial post has been updated, too.

It's 100% solid state so it's 100% silent at all times.

Some pruning has taken place and now we're all back on topic - I hope!
