  • is that a real perpetual mouvement, is that never stop ? Because if it works it's realy ingenius et could be make some energy, not a lot i know but it's great enouth for me (i must return to my planet ^^)

  • lol why are people pointing out the obvious in that there is a magnet on the bottom? its not a trick. the video's purpose is to demonstrate the chaotic motion of the pendulum. people are stupid because they don't even read the description on the side of the video before commenting.

  • there's a magnet under the paper...

  • WIIIIITCH!!!

  • well obviously there is a tiny little fluxcapasitor att he bottom of the bendulum

  • What pieces are magnetized? The bottom of the pendulum and the entire black post thing? Is it "uniformly" magnetized? Is there current involved? DESCRIBE THIS SYSTEM PLEASE OMG.

  • Under the paper are placed several magnets which either attract or repel the magnetized pendulum.

  • pretty cool. The World has mysterious beauties.

  • yep, beautiful, if it makes you think, which it should, figure it out,lol!

  • It is a magnet, I had the same thing in my cubicle a few years ago, It's base is similar to a bullseye, he has it covered up with a napkin.

    If you're going to pull a hoax, try being a little bit more creative next time.

  • no, it's supposed to have a magnet (otherwise of course it wouldn't yank like it does...)

    the point is that even if the starting position was varied by a miniscule amount, the path of the pendulum would vary hugely.

    it's not a hoax, you just can't see the magnets.

  • magnet

    fakes!

  • Nice video. I love this sort of stuff.

  • OmG Wtf LIEK NicE H4XoRZ!!!!!

  • what-a-crazy-contraption!

  • Be nice if it had a sort of pen on it that drew the long term pattern out on paper.

  • It would have problems drawing on the paper. A lazer would be better. Everything's better with lazers. Pens, guns, tanks, printers, sharks, internet memes, Guile, Chun Lee, E. Honda, M. Bison, circle, triangle, square, red, green, blue...

  • At the time I was thinking an airbrush would be easier. How was not really the issue. An LED light and timelaps photo would likely do the same thing. I just like how time lapse 'randomness' makes cool patterns

  • wahah didn´t laugh like that for ages ^^

  • thats is a magnet on the base of the same node.. thats why it wiggles every time it goes vertical

  • Thanks professor Obvious!

  • omg r u serios ur so smrt u shud be a colej profeser

  • huh? is there a magnet in that?

  • It's called Random Oscillating Magnetic Pendulum. Look it up on thinkgeekDOTcom

  • WHERE CAN I BUY THIS?

  • If we are all stupid, fine with me.

    However, please, fix your spelling.

    It'll make you a hypocrite.

    Also, the chaotic pendulum is really something to marvel at.

  • some kinda magnetic fields below the ball i guess.2-3 bars or a donut of magnet maybe?

  • i dont get it :/
