Chaotic Pendulum VideoLab

This experiment investigates the motion of a chaotic pendulum, a simple system which displays chaotic behaviour.

The equipment consists of two metal arms, able to move in a full circle. Initially, the arms are placed in either a straight line, or at reverse angles to each other.

The pendulum is released, and the motion is observed.
