Fun fact: this is called a "chaos pendulum" because its a classic example of a chaotic system. Chaos, in the mathematical sense, does not mean randomness. If you drop the exact same pendulum from the exact same spot, it will swing the exact same way, every time. What makes the system chaotic is that changing the initial conditions, dropping the pendulum from an ever so slightly different position, results in a completely different movement pattern. Its predictable and unpredictable at the same time.
I'm sure it could be constructed in a way to demonstrate the three planet problem (re plotting their orbits). Two is easy (for these clever clogs), but three is renowned to be near impossible (if not actually impossible!). If you want to scare an astrophysicist, ask them the answer to it lol.
What if you places the shorter lengths onto the longer length creating a triangle. One on each side. Then connect a rod between the two shorter lengts but with the wheel sandwiched between them.
I have a little rowboat guy with balls at the end of his oars. Rocks back and forth but eventually the balls gather a bit of rotational momentum and spins the rower 180⁰. Then back again several seconds later

Tim, keep doing what you do, you absolute legend.
The man and his presentations are a treasure.
And watching it is like a prize
No one really cares who's first, all we care is how cool this pendulum is
First!
Agreed

@@wizardjunkie you have a point
Hi Tim, every time I'm sad, I come to watch your videos, and they make me happy. Thank you 😊

Your voice is brilliant
My suggestion to the inventor is he makes a compartment in the base to hold all the spare pieces that aren't in use.
"Ahhh! A chaotic pendulum. Or a chaos pendulum!"
What a lovely piece of kinetic art.
There might b a SLIM CHANCE to make MORE THAN 4 different configurations w/ those pieces....
"Chaotic dance" xD That's me in da club after a couple of shots
Love what you do Tim. Always nice to see these little trinkets now and again.

I love this
What a lovely idea.
Does anyone know where these pendulums can be bought?

Great job 👍
Bit like my life at the moment 😂😂
Pro tip: get rid of your dog.

Strangely, but not surprisingly, this what exactly what I needed to see today. Cheers!
Guys, that outro music is AWESOME.
Weird and whimsical and upbeat!
Thanks Tim.
Utterly wackadoodle, yet scientifically explainable. Fantastic.
Always glad to see ya', Tim! What a pretty pendulum!
I want one. 😫
Fascinante
It may be unpredictable, but it doesn’t appear divergent like most
chaos pendulums do.
Nice
The Internet circa 1880s😂🍻
keep up the great videos.
Too bad you couldn’t demonstrate more than one.
What a wonderfully interesting desk toy,tim!
It reminds me of a video I once saw in which they build a machine that could balance a pendulum made of three segments
Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱👍
I bet cats would like that 😺
amazing device
I have a mighty need.
When you’re trying to solve a differential equation with different starting conditions:
What if you places the shorter lengths onto the longer length creating a triangle. One on each side. Then connect a rod between the two shorter lengts but with the wheel sandwiched between them.
This was nice
I could almost understand a few words this old man was mumbling
Could you mount it to a belt buckle?
Wait, only the first configuration uses the circle?
Bought
maybe you must start with all elements in the upmost position so maximum height energy will be in the system
If you made a clock with this pendulum, time would either go faster or slower at the scale of minutes but not sometimes faster and sometimes slower.
That’s how I dance .....
Pendulum seems inebriated.
Chaos can be fun.
Chaos Pendulum would be such a cool band bame.
Men walk around with these in their pants.
My pendulum works in a limited direction.😂
Grandy Nice ❤️❤️
There's got to be more than 4 combinations.. I'd just put the whole lot on there at random and see what happens

like, wow, man.
Where may I buy this???
