It is a double pendulum, a basic example of "chaos" (which, speaking of mathematics, does not mean "total confusion", it means "varying your start point even just the tiniest bit may (will) have dramatic results on where you end up".

And although that .gif has the pendula moving in a vertical (two-dimensional) plane, if you make the hinges universal joints so the pendula can move in any direction, you can generate some flashy artwork:
as well as mathematically predict the end of the planet via destroying the weather (our fault), celestial ELE (not really our fault)(unless God sent it 'cause he said "Whoa, people! Whose dumb idea was THAT!?)

Sludge - google Flame Painter - it's a great program (cheap) with the kind of effects you like (I have it for Mac). I thought you were using it for those last pix!

Wow, you're right!
Look what I just made:
Eat your heart out, Fisher!

Returning to the actual question for a second: Back in the bad old days when I'd drink too much alcohol, I'd get vicious night sweats. Have you increased your alcohol consumption? It doesn't take much of an increase to get the night sweats starting up. It's also possible that onset diabetes or some other affliction is increasing your intolerance to alcohol, especially as you get older. Keep in touch and let us know what you find out. This is just another path to pursue, that is, if you indulge in alcoholic beverages.
