Engine making grinding sound and part wobbling

Hi all, basically, for teh past few weeks, there has been some strange noise from the engine, you can only really hear it at idle but its very noticable.

I took it to the mechanics to have a look and they showed me the aprt. it was spinning and wobbling and the sound sounded like it was coming from that part.


heres some pics i took:

What could be the problem? on another forum i was told its the air con compressor but i thought that was the round thing next to the circled thing in the last photo :/

could it be a problem with the belt or the bearings? helppp
