    Wow. This is amazing, he should make a KZread channel where he films them in action in real time. I'd put it on my TV in the background all day! A 48hr video to watch when I do laundry or cook, or a relaxing video to watch in bed while I go to sleep! These could be amazing for people with anxiety or mentally disabled people who need certain stimuli to keep calm... these are more than art! They are mechanical medicine for the mind! Edit: He has a channel; David C. Roy where he has a few of his sculptures filmed. It's pretty cool. More I'm depth than this, but I still wish he would film more of them for longer! He could probably make decent money off of views if he did, but I understand that he might not be interested in doing that. I can respect that. I hope to buy one one day!

    It would be really interesting to see him incorporate the “magic lever” style mechanical watch wondering system in one of his pendulum designs. The mechanism allows watch’s to autowind with a counter weight no matter the direction the weight swings. His double pendulum design would be a good experimental starting point for implementation. I’ve seen some of these before and they’re absolutely beautiful.
