The oscillating systems of a pendulum type, nonideal in the sense of Sommerfeld-Kononenko are considered. Such systems are used for modeling oscillations in hydrodynamics, shell theory and other applications. The complex scenario of transition to the hyperchaos is revealed and described in details. Revealed scenario
begins with symmetric limit cycles and ends with a transition to hyperchaos through generalized intermittency with two coarse grained laminar phases. This scenario is illustrated in detail by projections of phase portraits, Poincaré sections and other characteristics of attractors of the system.
