An LED is attached to the lower bob of a double pendulum, making the chaotic motion even more vivid. Fabricated from scrap aluminum with skateboard bearings in the pivots.

  • Hey friend - this is really great! Nicely done - and blue is a great color for the LED! So what's next ... sounds??? :)

  • @pscmpf: You know it! The image processing app is ready to go, though the frame rate may not be high enough. I think position and velocity would offer very rich control signals for synthesis.

  • How would I construct a double/tripple pendulum that "winds itself up"?

    Theese are set to motion manually and only swings for a limited time.

    Is it possible to add an electric motor and have it swing "forever"?
