[quote=agor95 post_id=206790 time=1709557608 user_id=1291] Hi Graham [Roxaway59] I believe you have the right mind set; for our investigations should be fun. It is a right of passage to experiment with pendulums then place them on a disc and see what happens; Chaos. Not sure if is always chaos. Pls ...

[quote="silent"]This aleMANIA Bessler poster is just weird. He/She hasn't really said anything earth shattering, but hasn't said anything wrong either. silent[/quote] indeed . I think he/she have something on the device atop of he's/her shoulders. is a video on youtube abt a heavy flywheel...

thanks Fletcher for pointing out the ols sims. Kas topic name has reached a sensitive part of my brain..as the idea is on my ( only) topic. the pendullum in a system is changing it's centre of gravity for as long as is oscilate. The initial energy invested is raising the pendulum to some high and th...

crankshaft, piston rods and bearings from a scrapped car and few cement bags for flywheel ... not a fortune...

hi daxwc,
I'm also one of the many that are convinced 99.99% that there is not such a thing possible. But the results of the sim incline in the favour of remaining 0.01% doubts , so yes , I won't be stopping at cardboard paper replica. in 10 days I'll be back home, a good project for summer.

part 7. and final. search for equilibrium state. unfortunate that is were simulation stopped as internal limit reached( not sure what in simulator program means). if equilibrium state is reached, in what position, how easy will be to destabilize, etc, can be done only in practice, not with cardboard...

part 6.
still running, system's energy is less and less as pendullums oscilations decrease.
at the end, does not rotate, ramdom movements started.

part 5

pendullums oscilations amplitude decreasing, flywheel still rotating, a bit slower.

part 4
still running one direction. some fluctuations on graphic , pendulums coming out from sincronised movements.
kids not playing toghether nicely.

now can be seen why body building is optional, pendulums were sincronised on slow oscillations, about 30 degree from vertical line.

part 3 .
no, no stopping. here Phoenix come back to life.

toggle between graphic and numerical data.
kids start to play toghether, speed pretty much stable, in one direction.
pendulum oscillations still big

part 2 ,
after a bit of running in one direction, looks like flywheel come to a stop.

part 1, starting up and initial chaotic movements.
the two pendulums are released from certain weight.

unless body building is planned, this 2 weights not realy needed to be raised so high, as later seen on captures.

thanks Jim,
that will be an idea to do it , for now I'm limited with internet usage.. may be later on.

Anyway, remake the capture in 7 small parts, hope I can get them through slowly today with some of my thoughts.
