32 metronomes become synced
The table is acting as a cushion for the force put on a pendulum. Essentially, over a long enough time period, the force contracted by the rocking table will cause the metronomes to swing in the same direction.

  That is to do with resonance. A better way to look at this video is to see the metronomes are putting energy into the table, and then the table is putting energy back into the metronomes uniformly. Its a weird phenomenon but this video illustrates it quite well.
