…..as a “redivivus” (2002) proposal of Oystein , at : https://www.besslerwheel.com/wwwboard/messages/657.html
An elastic ( spring mass) pendulum ( the proposal…) is the abstract model experienced by an “abstract” skateboarder’s performance on a half-pipe .
Let’s take it as a real test and a suggestive lmage for lab demo.
It can be the first step...to add radial/centrifugal effect to gravity , so to play ( not to simulate on paper/screen…) a continuous accelerating swinging.

Gravity energy by centrifugal force…

Simplicity is the first step to knowledge.
Re: Gravity energy by centrifugal force…
Thanks Alex, certainly the best synthesis I've read on this forum...Let's see at what speed of rotation the centrifugal forces will be equal to gravity!
RPM(Fg = Fc) = (g * r)^1/2 * (60 / pi*2r)
: g = 9,8
: r = 1,825
:Result = 22.1 RPM!
:At this speed, the weights are ‘weightless’ at the top and
have F = 2g at the bottom.
:We know that this wheel was turning at around 24 rpm with no load and around 20 rpm with load.
Not everything I present is functional, but a surprise can't be completely ruled out.Greetings.
