Code Number: 3A95.50
Demo Title: Chaos Pendula - Chaos Toys
Condition: Excellent
Principle: Potential to Kinetic Energy, Simple Harmonic Motion
Area of Study: Oscillations & Acoustics
Equipment:
Chaos Pendulums, Double Planar Pendulum, Toy Pendulum Models, and Alogo Pendulum (Ring Pendulum).
Procedure:
See also: 3A95.50 in Chaos and Rube Goldberg.
The double planar pendulum shows what the addition of another degree of freedom does to the behavior of a pendulum. The chaos Pendula are designed so that you may go from one degree of freedom to 5 degrees of freedom in many different configurations, usually used for a deeper understanding of chaotic behavior.
The Alogo pendulum may be started with either the ring in the upward or the downward position by adding the proper counter weight.
