  2. Double pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_pendulum

    A double pendulum consists of two pendulums attached end to end.. In physics and mathematics, in the area of dynamical systems, a double pendulum, also known as a chaotic pendulum, is a pendulum with another pendulum attached to its end, forming a simple physical system that exhibits rich dynamic behavior with a strong sensitivity to initial conditions.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penn_&_Teller's_Smoke_and...

    Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors is a canceled minigame compilation developed by Absolute Entertainment and starring the magician duo Penn & Teller.It comprises six minigames used to play practical jokes on others: Two party tricks, two multiplayer "scams" in which one player can unfairly influence or interrupt the gameplay, the beat 'em up Smoke and Mirrors, and Desert Bus, in which the ...

  4. Chaos theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

    Starting the pendulum from a slightly different initial condition would result in a vastly different trajectory. The double-rod pendulum is one of the simplest dynamical systems with chaotic solutions. Chaos theory (or chaology [1]) is an interdisciplinary area of scientific study and branch of mathematics.

  5. Butterfly effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect

    A plot of Lorenz' strange attractor for values ρ=28, σ = 10, β = 8/3. The butterfly effect or sensitive dependence on initial conditions is the property of a dynamical system that, starting from any of various arbitrarily close alternative initial conditions on the attractor, the iterated points will become arbitrarily spread out from each other.

  6. Harmonograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonograph

    A Lissajous figure, made by releasing sand from a container at the end of a double pendulum. A Blackburn pendulum is a device for illustrating simple harmonic motion, it was named after Hugh Blackburn, who described it in 1844.

  7. Elastic pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_pendulum

    In physics and mathematics, in the area of dynamical systems, an elastic pendulum [1] [2] (also called spring pendulum [3] [4] or swinging spring) is a physical system where a piece of mass is connected to a spring so that the resulting motion contains elements of both a simple pendulum and a one-dimensional spring-mass system. [2]

    Havok was also used in the virtual world Second Life, with all physics handled by its online simulator servers, rather than by the users' client computers. An upgrade to Havok version 4 was released in April 2008 and an upgrade to version 7 started in June 2010. [ 22 ]
