Hello,
I have been working on many things in regards to a working gravity wheel. I have 2 video from youtube on Chaos peundulum variations. Both appear to come to a stop at one point but allow them selves to start again
I somewhat realise that the energy to restart comes from stored energy in the outside pendulu. But anyone who can explain a little more would be greatly appreciated.
I have looked at all of the pendulum applets on the web and none that i can see have the ability to model these behaviors.
I also know that the centrifugal force of a spinning wheel would have some force on these, if they were spun very fast it would just hang straight out. but i think that the forces exerted by a wheel making a revolution every 2 seconds( as i believe the 11 foot wheel did) may not effect this type of momentum.
Anyway here are the 2 videos,

WOW, I going to try and make this...

I find the chaos pendulum very interesting and after I make a couple and run them through some test I will be able to give an opinion and possible advice.
Thanks for posting the information.
