I'd rather not look at his one in any state of mind.

Looks cool but why dont they just swing back and foth uniformly?
I can have a complex explantion but not with actual maths or equations

pendulum timing is a function of length, so because they are staggered lengths they change their relative positions over time. Theyre nicely sorted so that the come back to the original arrangement after 60s.

theres more at the boingboing link I put in the OP.
