It's at times like these I wish there were no friction or gravity. Well... I say that...

The seemingly random motion isn't really random. This is a completely deterministic system. But because the displacement from equilibrium is not small, you can't ignore the higher order terms in the Taylor expansion of the equation of motion. According to chaos theory, changing the initial conditions just a little bit significantly changes the motion. If the initial condition were EXACTLY the same each time, then you could predict the motion.

Theoretically if you could eliminate all friction in the joints and air resistance it would never stop.

chaos :O !

I'd love to see an LED light on it and see it spin in the dark!

I see a design for a roller coaster here!

Double pendulums are so cool. Also, was really digging this song and was pleased to discover it was by one of my favorite electronic musicians.

@flimbabulous Yes great tune - listen to electronic music almost exclusively now that I have found Groove Salad on net radio - check them out.
