Developing a successful game..

.....from an electro-mechanical arrangement ( erratic swinging-rotating motion ) , as :
     https://theswingingsticks.com/how-the-swinging-sticks-works.php
.....into a mechanical ( only!!!) arrangement (possible "self" continuous rotating motion , due to gravity free fall and variing rotational inertia ) , if you take a look at :

.....but play/test the variable/spring arm , as :

.....or let's take this one as a challenge....starting with an electro-mechanical two-sticks game (erratic swinging and rotation , battery assisted ) , as :
     https://youtu.be/PWg6TG2bkFU
     https://shop.madgallery.ch/products/swinging-sticks
.....but evolving ( testing...) into a mechanical (ONLY !!!) three sticks game ( possible continuous rotation due to gravity free fall , inertia assisted ) , at :

     This a gravity and inertia game with a variable lever ( fixed and variable arm) or pendular lever.
     As a first step , we intend to play the variable arm in the top and bottom position in such a manner ,so to maintain the torque difference on the same side of the fixed fulcrum.
     Now ,let's "replay" this two (three ..) sticks game....but with a "knee-joint type" restriction (180* rotation , only!) for the mobile fulcrum of the second stick/pendulum...can we "tame/game" the chaotic motion (aleatory swinging and spinning ) into a regular one ( pulsatory rotation,only ...) ?!
     For the moment the motion is (electric) battery assisted...but keep in mind the possibility to play a "clear" mechanical game ( gravity and inertia ) , without electric supply..as a second step !

.....has as a starting point a toy , created in 1996 , by two Germans . It has the appearance to defy the laws of physics and gravity :  https://theswingingsticks.com/
     It's really cool , but not cheap (due to electronics and battery "assistance") , as :
     https://youtu.be/RzE6mnJWfgk
   Can we change this erratic swinging motion into a regular "self" pulsatory spinning ?
   Let's try to "change the assistance " with a rotational inertia one...maybe with the help of :

   It's a so "cheap key" to play gravity and inertia...
    All the Best !/Al_ex

.....on the line with older "two sticks contrivances " playing gravity unbalance and rotational inertia :
     - shadoof/fountain pole
     - trebuchet/mass throwing simple machine
     -.....
As we know , the swinging sticks game is playing an erratic gravity unbalance due to irregular rotational inertia assistance ( supplied with an electromagnetic scheme and ...temporary battery..."paying" this "magic" motion ).
The proposal is a "new toy" , playing a possible continuous regular gravity unbalance (on the same side of the fulcrum )  and rotational  inertia "assistance",only.
Simply said : to develop and test the double pendulum concept into a lever-spring pendulum one...a kind of "modified" trebuchet ( a lever with a "self" variable arm...).
