Abstract
This video shows six laboratory demonstrations of chaos and
nonlinear phenomena, intended for use in a first course on nonlinear
dynamics. Steven Strogatz explains the principles being illustrated and
why they are important. The demonstrations are: (1) A tabletop
waterwheel that is an exact mechanical analog of the Lorenz equations, one
of the most famous chaotic systems; (2) A double pendulum, a paradigm of
chaos in conservative systems; (3) Airplane wing vibrations and
aeroelastic instabilities, as exemplars of Hopf bifurcations; (4)
Self-sustained oscillations in a chemical reaction; (5) Using synchronized
chaos to send secret messages; and (6) Composing musical variations with a
chaotic mapping. Strogatz is joined by his colleagues Howard Stone, John
Dugundji, Irving Epstein, Kevin Cuomo, and Diana Dabby.
