Abstract
Several simultaneous observations are presented of Syzygy effects during two solar eclipses, performed with torsinds and Foucault pendulums. The experiments/measurements were of a simple nature, conducted in several of places in Romania and Ukraine. It is shown that during Syzygy effects both the torsind and the Foucault pendulum exhibit specific reactions: the torsind’s disk is rotated, whereas the direction of the swing plane, the period, the eccentricity and the chirality of the ellipse of oscillation of the Foucault pendulum are all altered. We term all these perturbations “Syzygy effects” and found that they take place even when the devices are in locations where the eclipse is not visible and even when they are underground. An unusual time shifts between the responses of the devices and the maximum phase of the eclipse is detected. The importance of simultaneous simple observations of astronomical phenomena using these two devices of fundamentally different types is emphasized.

Summary
It is well known that in 1851 the physicist J.B.L. Foucault showed that the Earth’s rotation around its axis can be demonstrated by the rotation of the plane of oscillation of a very long pendulum, called a “Foucault pendulum”.1.1. The Allais effect During the solar eclipses of 30th of June 1954 and 2nd of October 1959 Maurice Allais discovered that the plane of oscillation of a short pendulum suspended on a ball changed markedly. This pendulum is named paraconical pendulum and the perturbation is called the “Allais effect” [1] [2]. The Jeverdan-Rusu-Antonescu Effect During the solar eclipse on the 15th of February 1961, Gheorghe Jeverdan, Gheorghe Rusu and Virgil Antonescu discovered that the period of oscillation of a Foucault pendulum changed, a phenomenon known as the Jeverdan-Rusu-Antonescu effect [3]. The Anti-Eclipse Effect In a series of experiments made by Dimitrie Olenici, it has been shown that the behavior of a pendulum is changed when the experiment is made on the opposite side of Earth to that where the eclipse is visible and that similar effects appear during lunar eclipses, conjunctions, oppositions and transits of planets - in general during syzygies [4]
