Something different about this one
Continuing on the theme of central forces. This is an initial image of the next guy I’m looking at. This one is pretty similar to the others I’ve done except for that empty circle in the center. Related Images:

Islands of stability
This time I mapped the pendulum angle and time onto the surface of a cone to create a tunnel effect. For the parameter space I’m looking at, you can really see how the paths will converge for a while and then suddenly diverge wildly. Related Images:

Sensitive dependence on initial conditions
This next demo highlights the butterfly effect. These curves show the same pendulum as before, this version has the time axis wrapped around the center of the screen and the exponential of the angle as the radius. All the pendulums start at a very similar initial position and for some driving functions they diverge wildly…

More envelopes
This time I’m not taking up all of the screen. Still working with polynomials and trigonometric functions. Related Images:

Another image
I just like this one! Related Images:

Rough and Random page
I’ve had this sitting on my computer for a while and thought I’d publish it rather then just leave it sitting there. This simulates a pulse of light expanding out like my compression wave examples. This time however, we are looking at a pulse of light expanding in the vicinity of a black hole. Rather…

Something I’m playing around with.
This is something that I just stumbled onto while working on something else. I’ve taken a quick break from the atomic orbital viewer. I’m trying to make the IFS fractals more visually interesting. One approach is to create Mandelbrot versions of the IFS fractals which should break up the uniformity. Instead of showing one image…

I’m thinking about how best to handle this
I like the idea of putting demos up directly on the blog like the last one. However, they don’t show up on feed readers so you either get the text without the image and then click through. I can throw down some javascript to include a place holder link to the demo in the feed,…

The best surprises come from unexpected places
This time I’m back with some more physics visualizations with a flat 2d canvas. I’m skipping over some demos of basic physics to get at some orbital mechanics animations that I found surprising. I’ve derived and calculated solutions for two objects gravitationally bound to each other from my freshman physics classes back in college. Then…
