A video that really made me think for some reason.

Each of those metronomes have their own 'power' source (the spring) and if they didnt

WTF?  they are not what???  Clarify yourself man!

I have already explained things clearly....

perhaps you need to learn how to explain things.
ok, my question was not asked properly. You said each of those metronomes have their own 'power' source and then you explain it for the case if they didnt have there own 'power' source. Are you sure that this explains the behavior showing in the video?

Hahaha....Im going to assume that English is not your first language or perhaps I have assumed too much in people understanding what is going on with the metronomes.  I didnt think I would have to explain it so in depth....but here goes.

Firstly do you know what a metronome is?  If not, go here and look it up - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metronome

Right now all you need to know is that in the Youtube demonstration, EACH of the metronomes is WOUND UP (internal spring as its power source like a clock) and then set in motion.  The whole point of the video (I assume) is to show something about how the CENTER OF GRAVITY affects RESONANCE.  All of the metronomes initially were started at a different position BUT because they were placed on the same plank of wood that started rocking on the cans (very slight), this causes ALL of the metronomes to eventually syncronize into the same beat.

Clear enough???

I dont know how to state it any more succinctly.

I know that the video doesn't specifically relate to anything overunity.  It was just a really simple example that made me think about other things in different ways.

Yeh the TPU, thats a dead horse but the poor bastards just dont know it yet.

Do you have any private information that would make you say this?  I could blindly say this about anything said on this entire website, but if I really thought that, I wouldn't be here.

The question should be: do they synchronize wit each other or is the synchronization is governed by an external source?

Hi,

I think they syncronize with each other and the common platform they are positioned on helps in this, it gives them a 'kind of coupling' for getting finally into harmony in their movement.  If the metronoms were of different mechanical sizes / or weights this harmony would either take a much longer time to get into or would not take place at all.
The theory on oscillating systems which may couple to each other is known, (I cannot recall it now) and involves heavy mathematics when dealt with in 'academic circles'.
Energy comes from the metronoms's inside springs of course.
