What do you think of this one

A similar idea:

Finsrud's execution, however, is masterful. Unquestionably the standard to which all others are held.

Paul-R,

basically you are right, it would prove much better in the video if some pick up coils were feeding some LEDs but in fact the shown setup (if it is not a fake) already does work by keeping the mass of the central pendulum in a continuos motion, does not it?

Yes, but the momentum of the system, set into operation off camera, would be enough
to cover such a tiny load. If this invention amounts to anything, then there needs
to be coils feeding a load rather greater than LEDs, maybe a variable resistor.

Something of this type would require a larger scale - in fact, it would have to be rather large, and then it might as well be converted into a Foucault Pendulum.

I've placed a new page, where you can follow my replication about this pendulum. for the moment i do only describe it in German language. English translation follows up, as soon someone will give me a little help

it's just to share the success or failure

Fun toy. Thanks for sharing.
