YouTuber yamamo2 hasn’t created the world’s first perpetual motion machine with this high-performance double pendulum. But he did create a hypnotic way to lose 22 minutes of your life staring at your screen.

There’s unfortunately no description on what makes the double pendulum so highly efficient, so we’re just going to assume it’s a mix of the world’s most awesome ingredients like titanium, carbon fiber, carbon nanotubes, and probably bacon grease.
