This is so relaxing that I watched it for three solid minutes.

If it was under the influence of gravity, it would not go as high up the other side

If there was friction. Only gravity is in this equation model it looks like

Gravity still acts on the ball while it's moving upward. It's a constant downwards force. The ball would rise slightly less each time, not reach 100% height.

The wire is friction-less, the simulation is sitting in a bell jar sans air, and the disclaimer says: 'Note: This is not a perpetual motion machine - those are down the hall'

An SWR of negative one? How is this possible? I need this antenna!
