.....and inertia ,is an up-to-date subject in physics.
You can find a plenty of short movies,regarding this field of inquiry,at www.youtube.com with the tag "pendulum as a wave",or something alike.
Some explanatory details at: www.arborsci.com/CoolStuff/New_CoolStuff_Articles/cool43.aspx
Wavering,is as a move or sway in a rising and falling of wavelike pattern,or simply stirring a wave likeness.
As we can easy notice ,again the pendulum is the "prime acting symbol".
These movies,can be an opportunity to think and imagine a possible gravity motor,that acts and takes advantage of the wave modelling process of the gravity fall...due to a "quantum"/wave precondition?!

It's a natural phenomena of the air,the most sensible "marker" and maybe a possible suggestion ,so to think about gravity power,as "packs"( waves) of energy.
The "old" energy,as we know,is "down" (oil,coil,gas...),and as a finite quantity,storage...
The "fresh" energy,let's hope,is "up there"(as a huge ever wandering "wave spectrum") ,as an infinite amount...
We know a lot of facts about gravity fall,as mechanical energy :our problem is how to collect,amass,pack it up...maybe as waves ,on a cosmic shore.
The same "quantum theory"?!...that the huge spectrum of the unseen "roaming" energy,can be discharged not continuously,but in discrete units of quanta (waves) ?!

Can we play this configuration as a self-undulatory "fish", replacing the tiny wind "input" with a "self" repeating unbalance?

That's a beautiful sculpture. I like it when somebody unites Art and technology. The motion reminds me a lot of a female walk.
So that music was a perfect match. As good ol Jimmy Hendrix sung..
"She's walking
thru the clouds,
with a circus smile
she's running wild,
butterflies and zebras
and moon beans
and ferry tales
that's all she was ever thinking about...
riding with the wind"
And BTW. nice house there, seen it in my dreams.
Cheers

A wave is an oscillation system. If you try to harvest energy from a wave, its amplitude will decrease. So no, gravity cannot do work.

A free inverted pendulum develops as a diminishing "gravity wave"...a suggestion , as we a living in gravity , as on a "cosmic shore" ?!

It's a "visible" suggestion to conceive the natural energy ( including gravity...) as waves .

With the same "cards"/pendulums ,we can play an old "game"(Newton's cradle...) or a multitude of new "games" (including yours...) and...why not? ...a self powered gravity device ?

people usually try to maximize the magnetic forces involved in their designs.
it is a result of the faulty assumption that a magnetic field somehow represents energy.
just because a moving magnetic field can induce current flow, it still is the kinetic movement that is converted to another form of energy.
the opposite is also true current flow can be converted into kinetic energy by moving magnetic fields.
no where in these two examples is the magnetic field responsible, or the source of the energy.
the endless trying to get energy from a magnetic field has to stop for it is an journey without end.
the hypothesis was that gravity pulls on all matter, even on a tiny electron.
but the force of gravity is so weak when compared to the forces that bind electrons and keep them in place around atoms.
this is as far as we go, we assume electrons are circulating atoms, and we assume they have mass.
we also assume that the forces holding them in place are stronger then the force of gravity.
the hypothesis continued to claim that if it was not for these binding forces, the electrons would feel the force of gravity and start to accelerate in a definite direction, just like any other object does when it is allowed to fall under the influence of gravity.
most circuits people deal with in this era, are of the single directional kind.
this means current is always flowing in one direction, or it is flowing in the other direction.
never it will be flowing in one direction and in the other direction, at the same time.
yet this bi directional movement hold certain key's that are needed to make progress in the field of a,
GPG (gravitational powered generator).
simply because it is impossible to use the ancient approach of single directional fields to set up the needed field pattern.
the reason for this is that the single directional field pattern is always additive.
it can not be used to null out the forces that bind the electrons, because it can only be used to add density to the field.
where a bi or even but not necessary, a multi directional field can be used to effectively cancel out or null out the forces at play, creating a field pattern that frees the electrons from their hosts, by cancelling out the binding forces that keep them in place,
allowing the gravitational pull to finally set in motion and accelerate these charge carriers in a definite direction.
it should hold common sense to the designers of such a system, that the spacial orientation of the mechanism is of utmost importance, as well as graverodynamic design.

It can be a suggestion to represent gravity fall as incoming "waves"...in a simple mechanical variable/oscillatory leverage...
