Not sure there is chaos there: two bodies, one suspended, the other attached. Fascinating momentum transfer, though. An initial condition problem, fully predictable if ideal / isolated, but there is dissipation due to friction and air drag.
Transfer of inertia is mesmerizing.
They should make a roller coaster based off this
If you make the length of the stick the diameter of the circle, then the ratio of the geometric circumference of the circle to the stick creates a hypergeometric image of a dynamic form of pi (hyper pi, a la mode) that will stick with your future math taste buds. (LOL)
Is this not misleading? The movement is predictable and determined given knowledge of the initial conditions.
It feels like the visual jazz of momentum.
How is bar connected to circle ?
Where can I buy something like this?

![Elon Musk: I strongly recommend studying physics as a grounding to understand reality. “I studied physics, and I certainly strongly recommend physics as a good grounding to understand the nature of reality. Physics is fundamentally just understanding how the universe actually works. That's a good foundation for a variety of engineering disciplines. The analytical constructs used in physics [like first-principles thinking] apply to basically anything. Most people tend to think by analogy or by comparison with something that already exists. This is a mental shortcut that requires less brain strain, but it's hard to get fundamental insights unless you think about things from a first-principles standpoint.” Axel Springer Award, December 1, 2020](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1898666430553284902/ext_tw_video_thumb/1898659830430052352/pu/img/YU6O7JELtEPIEdd7.jpg)
