Thats brilliant thank you. I will spend some time throwing some numbers into it. Much appreciated from a Mechanical engineer ha

I'm assuming minimal damping. I will just use conservative numbers later on. Are you referring to T=2∏√L/g ?

Here is a rough sketch. Hope it helps a little. As I say I am trying to work towards an output shaft RPM. Please note all dimensions etc are ball park. Thanks Mike

Pendulum into RPM?? Hi I'm trying to throw together a concept design for a swing set which can convert kinetic energy into mechanical energy. In short I would like a swing set, using one way roller bearings to drive an output shaft but am unsure where to start. If I have a mass (m)...
