Double Pendulum
What it is: A two-rod pendulum system where the second rod attaches to the bob of the first, leading to chaotic behavior.
History: Pendulums go back to Galileo (17th century). The double variant highlights nonlinear dynamics, widely studied in chaos theory.
Real life use: Multi-jointed robotic arms, amusement rides, or any mechanical systems with pivot joints can show double-pendulum effects.
How to use:
- Desktop: Adjust rod lengths, masses, gravity, and initial angles. The “Path” checkbox traces the bob’s trajectory.
- Mobile: Use touch to move sliders. The canvas resizes automatically to avoid overflowing on small screens.
EM Fields (Dipole)
What it is: A positive and negative charge pair, creating a simple electric dipole field.
History: Michael Faraday introduced field concepts; Maxwell’s equations unified electricity & magnetism in the 19th century.
Real life use: Dipoles appear in antennas, molecules (polar bonds), bar magnets (approximated as dipoles at large distances), etc.
How to use:
- Desktop: Rotate/zoom with mouse or trackpad. The “Lines” slider controls how many field lines are drawn.
- Mobile: Pinch to zoom, swipe to rotate the 3D scene.
Standing Waves
What it is: A wave on a string that forms nodes (no motion) and antinodes (max motion) under certain frequencies (modes).
History: Wave theory developed by Fourier, d’Alembert, and others, with harmonics studied in music since ancient times.
Real life use: Guitar strings, organ pipes, laser cavities— any resonant system exhibiting standing waves.
How to use:
- Desktop: Adjust “Mode” & “Freq” sliders, orbit with mouse/trackpad to see the wave line.
- Mobile: Pinch/drag the 3D view; sliders adjust wave parameters via touch.
Relativity (Minkowski)
What it is: A wireframe plane that tilts to represent a simple Lorentz boost in special relativity.
History: Minkowski (1907) extended Einstein’s 1905 special relativity, merging space & time mathematically.
Real life use: GPS satellites, particle accelerators—any scenario where speeds are significant relative to light.
How to use:
- Desktop: Adjust the “Boost” slider; orbit/zoom with mouse/trackpad.
- Mobile: Pinch/drag the 3D view; slider changes the tilt.
Crystal Lattice
What it is: A 4×4×4 arrangement of atoms showing Simple, Body-Centered Cubic, or Face-Centered Cubic structures.
History: Max von Laue and the Braggs used X-ray diffraction (early 1900s) to reveal crystal patterns, founding solid-state physics.
Real life use: Silicon wafers for electronics, metallurgy (steel’s BCC), or drug crystallography in pharma.
How to use:
- Desktop: Choose a lattice from the dropdown. Zoom/rotate with mouse.
- Mobile: Pinch/drag to move, tap dropdown to switch lattice type.
