What kind of parameters are you working with? Is it supposed to work mechanically or do you just swing it back and forth manually? Should it have a blade at the bottom?
And do you have to build one or just find one? What keeps popping into my hand is a pendulum from a clock or a metronome held upside down.

Incidentally, I'm a little curious, it has to be a pendulum like one from a great work of literature but it's for a math class? What's your' math professor's angle? How does s/he relate the pendulum to math?
