A chaotic system with mesmerizing motion
A double pendulum is a simple physical system that exhibits chaotic behavior with a strong sensitivity to initial conditions. This simulation uses the Runge-Kutta method (RK4) for accurate physics calculations. Even tiny differences in starting positions can lead to completely different motion patterns over time.
Adjust the parameters to see how they affect the pendulum's motion. The trail shows the path of the second pendulum bob, creating beautiful patterns as it moves.
