Pendulosity is the rate of travel and oscillations of a weight at the end of a pendulum travelling a nonlinear path. Humans, as pendulous beings, possess significant amounts of pendulosity at times. For example a runner can be said to be travelling with great pendulosity. This invention is meant to
assist in the production of this force.
The Pendulocitator, or whatever, is a wearable machine consisting of various pendulums. These pendulums are placed parallel to the pendulous extremeties of the human wearer. Once the weighted pendulums of the Penduloscitator begin pendulously oscillating effort must be exerted to keep the human wearer at rest.
Instead of remaining at rest, the wearer is meant to move with the motion of the machine. By overcoming this first newtonian law of motion the machine has more than performed enough work to justify its existence here in its incomplete or partial state.

So, do fat people possess a lot of ponderosity? |
|
|
This pendulosity thing... is it something you'd find at
a swingers' club? |
|

One pair of a Daddy Long Legs' wings have developed over time into a pair of pendulums (pendula?) so it might work in other creatures too - a tail on a running/leaping animal kind of acts in this way. |

This seems a bit like a velociped designed to amputate. |

No -- gravitas. Ponderosity is a quality possessed by
certain trees. |

Writing's rife with spelling errors recently. Long for the days of moveable type-setting when the closest approximate letter sufficed. |

Hmm... I see turkeys' wattles as being something that could be
described as pendula. Similarly, those of cassowaries. |

Cassowaries have turkeys? |
