Abstract
We propose the application of a new technique, the X pendulum, to dete rmine the Newtonian gravitational constant G. We evaluate the likely e xperimental errors for configurations realizable with existing technol ogies and show that improvement of the accuracy by an order of magnitu de or more is possible.
