two large masses rotating around the pendulum, one synchronized with the
sun, one sync'd with the moon.
Having just looked up the orrery stuff, a suitable gear train on a
massive scale is called for. But hey, they made gears for the 70m
antennas in the Deep Space Network, so it's clearly possible.
One might want some smaller masses, driven by still more gears to
counteract the forces from, say, Jupiter.
