Dual Axis Sand Pendulum https://physicsfunshop.com The kinetic energy trades back and forth between swinging toward the support arm and then swinging perpendicular to that path tracing Lissajous figures in the sand. The sand slowly dissipates the energy and the traced figures get smaller so the next one fits inside the last. Coupled oscillations like this can occur when multiple modes of motion (degrees of freedom) are available to the system. ➡️ Follow the link above for information on where to

Double Pendulum Chaos: by orbdrop https://www.physicsfunshop.com/category/kickstarter A device to demonstrate the motion of mathematical chaos from a simple assembly of two physical pendulums (one attached to the end of the other). An LED light attached to the end of the pendulum is used to generate light trails captured by the app “Slow Shutter” allowing for a visualization of the chaotic motion. The physics of chaos is characterized by intricate orbits and extreme sensitivity to initial starti
