Double pendulum is a physical demonstration of Chaos Theory, made for the class Playful Communications of Serious Research with Brett Peterson.

The double pendulum is a hands-on educational tool that allows users to create their chaotic systems. A system is considered chaotic if it is susceptible to the initial conditions, where a small change where the system begins results in a large differences in a later state. This tool can visually demonstrate chaos dynamics in action, where the resultant motion is never the same between each swing.

Our double pendulum is connected to sensors located on the end of each arm that live map each created chaotic system. This drawing is presented on a monitor where the user can view and download it via QR code.
