Abstract

Maurice Allais reported anomalous behavior of pendulums, during solar eclipses in 1954 and 1959. This effect, which is then known as the Allais effect, has been searched for by a number of other researchers. Both positive and negative results had been reported. In this paper we report our pendulum experiment during total eclipse on 9 March 2016, over Indonesia. Apparatus set up and method of measurement are described, and we discuss some points which may contribute to uncertainties of the results.
