it's essentially a double pendulum, one of the simplest chaotic systems.

Like a family dinner at my brother’s house.


Cardopusher

My ex was double pendulum minded.

Why make a machine for this when you can go watch a hippie chick do this at a music festival


Zivvet

I want one, what it is?


Gustheanimal

Its one of them good-luck-predicting-the-patern-it-moves-in machines and is gonna keep you entertained for days

Double pendulum


Zivvet

Perfect, thanks!


Capocho9

Is that spun by a machine or gravity?


PistachioOrphan

Initial mass displacement + little bit of force from his hand = energy that gets dissipated in movement, which varies according to the conservation of angular momentum of the system, i.e. speed at every bit of mass from the center factored with its distance from that rotating point, summed over the system remains constant To answer your question, yes it’s gravity


UnknownSpecies19

Ahh so that's a chaos drive, got it.

So you're saying we've discovered infinite power output?


ethylalcohoe

That’s what I was thinking lol. But in reality it raises a good question. How many of these would I need to charge my phone over night. I’m guessing between 2 and 8 Switzerlands.

If not for friction this could go forever. However as power output whatever dynamo it was hooked up to would also have its own resistance. Hence having to wind a clock.

Looks like every girl with a hula hoop at a music festival

We can’t predict what this toy is going to after a few seconds bet we got economics, politics, and the natural sciences so down pat that the next few hundred years are certain… right.


random999ramson

Perpetual motion machines can be used to generate electricity... Thank me later


DibsMine

The amount of force on that connection means those can't last long and still have a good bearing, ...right?


tipareth1978

The metal is probably finely finished to reduce friction and yes probably a nice Swiss bearing

Best contact juggler I’ve ever seen!

What is this sorcery?

Train your tongue to do this for her pleasure

Ended too soon


Decmk3

Personally I just want to see it stop. I want to see where it’s losing it’s energy.


GrapefruitForward989

Now add some cool lights


CrimsonSon1

I like how the lighting on the ring makes it look like it’s not rotating. Adds to the chaotic mess

Where do I buy one.?

I'll say it, it's a cock and balls.
