Three sticks game...

Cool Link. I think I will have to make something like that for my yard.

.....with gravity unbalance , inertia and ...(your proposal here) , you can play as you like , as a diversity of shapes and size , so to "feel" motion.

A big size at : www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8aMoBcYDHs

For me , it's an artful expression (and suggestion , in the same time ) , for a possible gravity powered "device".

.....in the most simple manner , you can see ( or play...) , at :

So , we have three "sticks" (levers or counterweighted pendulums...as you like) , playing chaotic continuous motion , due to wind ("chaos" input), gravity and inertia.

The same idea , at : www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k7TD_SJLBg

Can we play a regular motion , due to gravity unbalance and inertia (only!) , starting with this arrangement , and...
(your proposal here)?!

The charm of simplicity : it can be the starting "mental flame" , so to understand and imagine the real world.

A single stick ...as a lever.
Two sticks ....as a hand oscillatory leverage/shadoof(lever-pendulum).
Three sticks ...as a "self" oscillatory leverage (lever-lever-pendulum) ?!
As an artistic expression ( kinetic sculpture due to wind,gravity and inertia) of this serial ( three sticks...) leverage , at :

…..sometimes ,if we embrace simplicity ,it brings a lot of good things.
Take a look at : www.geocities.ws/iacob_alex/Some_Drafts/text032.jpg
…..then try to play a simplified three (bar,beam,rod,stick…) interconnected leverage.
