Pendulum with Magnets (All opposing)

[wopwops]

so now you must build it and show us your device

Well, I let Clanzer know about it.... As we all know, he's a bit busy at the moment.

It amazes me that someone would put all the time and effort into designing and crafting this unit. It looks very well built, like an artistic piece. Everything is clean, notice the levels, the wood staining, the polished metals, the grooves and fine workmanship. A beautiful display, but it looks faked somehow. One of the comments mentions the metal ball at the top (magnetic?).

It needs to be viewed openly at all angles, especially the top and underneath. My guess is there is a battery hidden at the top or down below.

This would look great in the waiting room of a large company. Thanks for posting this wopwops.

Perpetual Motion? This I doubt.

i hope there is no hidden power, also it does't  work in vacuum.

Those sheets being lowered and raised insde those sleeves. Supposing these have a magnetic repulsion take to perform on that hammer sized stack of magnets at the bottom of the pendulum, I wonder who they could slide with apparently no friction. The (for the viewer) lateral force would be signicant, and fulctuating, I would expect?
A work of art for sure. Yet, it seems simple enough for a Lego builder to replicate. Some thing are going on, but it's a transparent design.
The design has some features that vague came to my mind in bits and pieces. I wonder though, what the claimed reason would be, for it to work. The way angles between magnets cyclicly changes, perhaps?
As with all such contraptions, I wonder how much it can be loaded before it stalls, hidden battery, or no hidden battery.
