Milkovic's Pendulum

It has only one swinging pendulum.

Isn't a long horizontal stick a second pendulum?
It has its own oscillation frequency, determined by its mass and length.

  It's a counterweight or counterbalance. It would need to be swinging to have an oscillation. When
a pendulum swings, it can be graphed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUfr8WtJuyg
With a graph you can see its oscillations. move or swing back and forth at a regular speed. With the
graph, at the top of each change in up or down direction is a cycle which is an oscillation. The graph
allows for both frequency and amplitude (vertical change in movement) to be known. And with the
distance between each peak on the graph, that represents time.

This machine is a variable lever assisted by a pendulum to change the leverage. When the big weight is close to the fulcrum there is less mechanical advantage and when it is further away the large weight is further from the fulcrum it has enough mechanical advantage to lift the long arm. And it is assisted by the swinging pendulum...BUT WHERE ARE THE WORK IN AND OUT MEASUREMENTS? They are easy to get. 1. the weight of the long arm x distance moved x lifts = work out. 2. work in - weight lifted x distance traveled....

The flexible fulcrum adds a little to the variable lever mechanical advantage.

My magnet assisted pendulum drops  from 2 o'clock and travels past 9 and 10 to noon and then slowly drops back down to 5 then stops at 6 - where does that 2+ hrs of travel come from?
No fuel or elec or water or wind power.....

And why then does Milkovich himself call his rocking chair a double pendulum?
the first pendulum is a classic pendulum. The second "pendulum" is a lever.
And if you hang a second pendulum on the other end of the lever, it will be a triple pendulum.
I think so...

  He can call it whatever he likes. The work it performs is a stroke like in an engine and not an oscillation.
It can be graphed like a swing or pendulum can and that might be why. With a pendulum, because it has
a bidirectional swing it should probably be graphed with a positive and a negative z axis to show which
direction it is swinging.
With this video, I made it at the end of 2019 because I was bored and had access to both SketchUp and
Final Cut Pro 10. Since y is the amplitude or the difference in how high and low a pendulum swings when
considering its radius is 1 as a reference. If a z axis is used then x will be less than 2r (2 x radius). Then we
can consider something like the Pythagorean theorem where a^2 + b^2 = c^2 or 1 because 1^2 is 1.
Then z^2 + x^2 = π ( 3.142) would allow for the radius of 1 to be used as an example. And this video goes
along those lines but I might've said z^2 + x^2 = y^2.  The 2nd statement would be wrong because the relationship
between π and radius would be lost. I haven't actually tried proving it, am just using the Pythagorean theorem as a basis.
An example is if x = 2 then z would = 1.142. Then sqrt both numbers and x = 1.414 and z = 1.068 and y =1. With x, in
a 2 dimensional graph, x = 2 if the radius is 1.

And if you consider Einstein's light from a distant star bending around the Sun, is light 2 dimensional or 3 dimensional?
This gets into space being distorted or warped like Einstein wrote in his paper on the subject. It was proven later by astronomers.
