ROMP (Random Oscillating Magnetic Pendulum)

ROMP


Designed to illustrate the chaotic and random forces that effect us all, ROMP is also just plain fun. ROMP's swinging pendulum darts and dodges through magnetic force fields that you setup using the included magnets. These periodic energy 'tugs' cause the pendulum to erratically drift through the magnetic fields thus exhibiting total chaos (random systems, by nature, are unpredictable). Can you make order out of this chaos? If so, you could probably write a bestseller or do something important enough to not be sitting at your computer reading this very paragraph right now. If not, try anyways and, more importanly, have fun trying.
