In nature, whats the smallest system with chaotic behavior? Correct, its the simple double pendulum, you all know. So it can be quite amazing to watch the motion of this system, the surprisingly figures it creates as well as astonishing cycles. This App will visualize and animate this figures for you.

You can choose between three modi:
1. Lean back, relax and enjoy the motion of different pendulums. Follow the movement in different colored balls and the animation of their track lines. Just have a look at the terrific figures of the pendulum and you will relax.
2. Take your pictures of the last holidays and make a quiz. The motion of the pendulum gives you a small spot on the picture. The chaotic behavior and the fast moving spots means a challenge to your skills in memorize and your imagination.
3. Look a little bit deeper on the physics of a double pendulum. Like slow motion you can go with single steps forward or just reverse the direction to see, if the pendulum behaves regular or chaotic.
