Some amusement park rides act as conical pendulums.

The playground game tetherball uses a ball attached to a pole by a cord which functions as a conical pendulum, although the pendulum gets shorter as the cord wraps around the pole.
3.
Afterwards, Mr . Redier came to the Besan�on exposition, in 1860, with a conical pendulum regulator with horizontal motion, and he published a memoir on this topic in the same year.
4.
If we disregard the force to start and maintain constant movement of a conical pendulum, are there any practical ( scientific / commercial ) purposes to which the force generated / the movement created can be utilised.
5.
One of the most important uses of the conical pendulum was in the flyball governor ( centrifugal governor ) invented by James Watt in 1788 which regulated the speed of steam engines during the Steam Age in the 1800s.
6.
If a conical pendulum can move and be maintained at a constant speed with no energy input causing such movement, what are the practical commercial purposes to which such resultant movement of / force generated by the pendulum can be put .?
7.
At the heart of these engines was Watt s self-designed " conical pendulum " governor : a set of revolving steel balls attached to a vertical spindle by link arms, where the controlling force consists of the weight of the balls.
8.
{{ quotation | Huygens suspended his conical pendulum from the rod itself, which gave it its rotation; an arrangement which has been advantageously employed as a regulator of steam machines, but which it is not possible to introduce in horology where, the latter has no more than a little force.
