The asynchronicity of each metronome causes a shift along the horizontal axis of the board. Those metronomes that are swinging out of sync. will have an effect on the direction of the 'roll' of the board, which eventually cancels out asynchronous patterns of the rest. That's why the board on the table top provides no cancelling effect, the board is fixed in the horizontal axis. Once on the cans the board is free to shift horizontally, allowing the cancellation of asynchronous movement. Notice that the greatest amplitude or 'roll' of the cans below the board is at the point of synchronicity.
