Hi Rick and all, as of the description of the GIT developers it is
already doing it! It swings out and stays there, no pendulum !
Look into the GIT pages ! I will try to build something like this when I
have more time to try it. In the meantime check the RealVideo movies at:

They are already pretty convincing !

Stefan is correct. There are no pictures of this on the site, but the
is a blurb at http://www.open.org/davidc/updates.htm that indicates
that Jeremy Goodman has done a test and observed a 4inch deviation
from plumb for 10 sec [battery problems] with several differing length
pendulums. Pictures of that would make a believer for sure ;|
This thing don't look that hard to build -- I'm thinking about using
steel mouse balls [of SMOT fame, but with the coating still on], a
hard-drive motor attached to a single platter for the drive wheel, and
a couple metal bowls for the races. We'll see if the HD motor has
enough strength to do it.
