Abstract
This invention is a method and apparatus for alternately transferring energy between two objects suspended from a common swiveled point. The first of the objects is put into motion in a circular fashion about the second object which is in a stationary condition. Ultimately, energy is transferred from the first object to the second object, causing the second object to follow the first object in a circular manner. The resulting transfer of energy slowly brings the first object to a stationary condition and moves the second object in a circular motion. A transfer of energy then continues between the first and second objects in the aforementioned manner. Swings containing humans also transfer energy from one swing to another as characterized by this invention. The invention is further characterized by means for changing the position of the common meeting point of the suspension lines from each object.
