ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for generating nonlinear chaotic motion is presented. The apparatus presents a base from which extends a slidable rod that carries a plurality of ring magnets that are deflected by an electromagnet. The base contains an internal power supply that powers a deflection sensor, an internal waveform generator and an electromagnet driver system. The internal waveform generator generates a signal received by the driver system which in turn generates a driver signal received by the electromagnet. As the magnetic field of the electromagnet is varied, the ring magnets are deflected in a linear, nonlinear (e.g. nonlinear resonance phenomenon, etc.) and/or chaotic motion which is observed visually and by the deflection sensor. The apparatus may be provided with external input and output ports that allow connection of an external waveform generator and power supply to the input ports and measuring instruments to the output ports. A processor may be interconnected with the apparatus to allow for open or closed loop configurations thereof. The apparatus allows for physical observation and measurement of chaotic behavior for study and analysis.
