Neat Magnetic Sculpture

What do you call this? Some kind of oscillator? Reminds me of a Newton's Cradle, but different. ...I'm just going with "Neat Magnetic Sculpture" :-)

The hanging pendulums have magnets, and moving one will cause the others to "stick" to it and follow in a sinuous wave. They are not connected through the top--the pendulums are mounted on ball bearings and swing freely. I recall that they're aluminum, which is pretty light and non-magnetic, and that the magnets seemed pretty powerful.

If you know who build this, or other details, please share. Yeah, the sculpture has a little plaque--wish I'd noted the info. Don't remember where I saw this :-( The sculptor deserves accolades!

Some music would be good..

[Studi037]

@NoVideosUser I agree, ...can you point me to a free, yet licensed-for-commercial use (and hopefully not annoying) that I can patch in to an existing video? (and that matches the length)?

It takes true genius to create something both fascinating and boring.

@Studi037 YouTube's audio swap. Thousands of free songs you can put over existing videos.

@Studi037 Kevin McLeod at has royalty free music.

Google either his name or incompetech.

He also has a YouTube channel, kmmusic.

Why did you repeat the same thing twice? This video should have been half as long.

The idea was good. The result was bland. It happens.

@Studi037 You don't need music that matches the length just fade it out near the end and then it won't cut off...+ a lot of songs can be used......more than not actually.

@Studi037 Oh, you mean audioswap! :P
