Though not pendulums, a dynamical system of two of these machines, in which one mass is free to swing in a plane and a larger mass moves only up or down, exhibits chaotic or complex harmonic motion. In a system of two of these machines, for two masses x and y, the acceleration experienced by both masses is x minus y over x plus y, all times little-g.
