A Gizmo a day?

As more and more people are using our site, requests for new (or improved) Gizmos continue to roll in. If we were a really big company we would be able to make a new Gizmo every day, but we aren't quite that big yet ;) However, the requests that users send us do get put on a big list of 'things people want' that sits right on my wall (we love getting ideas!).

One user wrote in about the Period of a Pendulum Gizmo and said,

I was using the period of a pendulum with my students today and found it to work reasonably well. It would be nice if the angle of release could also be varied as one of the possiblities we discussed in class that 'may' make a difference (i.e. a possible independent variable for an experiment).

One of our coders found a few spare minutes, modified an existing Gizmo, and created the brand new Period of a Pendulum - Large Angle Gizmo.

Now, according to the pendulum, my time for creating this post has run out.
