Foucault's pendulum has the following interesting behavior.
At the equator, when swinging, it does not rotate. At any other point on the earth it precesses, going faster around a circle as you move closer to the poles, exactly as predicted by applying Newton's gravity to a mass swinging over a rotating spherical mass.
It also will swing forever. It does that because the earth is rotating and momentum is being transferred from the earth to the pendulum.
No matter where you are on the earth these effects will occur as predicted.
Propaganda. Focault pendulum is a farce you can prove yourself. Go re-create you will see the truth. I deleted this post because didn't mean to post it on GA

I have done this exact experiment. It is not a farce, it is not a lie, it is something you yourself can test. I highly recommend you do so.
