What is the name of this object - bit like a pendulum!!!?

It's called a "Newton's Cradle is" and it's a device that demonstrates conservation of momentum and energy. It is constructed from a series of pendulums (usually 5) aing one another. Each pendulum is attached to a frame by two strings of equal length angled away from each other. This string arrangement restricts the pendulums' movements to the same plane.
