In the movie iron man 2 on pepper pots desk is a sort of pendulum motion machine. These are called swinging sticks. If you look up swinging sticks you find one site on think geek that sells these for over 200 $. That seemed a little expensive so i would like to know how they work or even better how to to make them.
