Projects from my Nonlinear Dynamics & Chaos class were spectacular. One student made a chaotic waterwheel (also called the Lorenz or Malkus waterwheel) using 3D-printed parts and an inexpensive water pump. The dynamics are governed by the famous Lorenz equations.

It rotates one way, then another, ad infinitum

Any chance the model files were made available for the water wheel? Otherwise, I may have to reinvent the, uh, wheel.

Interesting. I get the strange attractor I think. What's the point though?

Prof. Shane Ross2 years ago

Instead of just simulating some chaotic equations on the computer, a real life demonstration helps illustrate that the phenomena are real

Beeraiah Thonti(AB)2 years ago

Nice sophisticated prototype, which will give feel of chaotic water wheel 😃

Hi I am looking for chaotic DE that is 0 at -infinity and oscillates chaotic around 1 (attractor=1) when approaching + infinity. Are you aware of anything like that. Sprott's jerk DEs are all with the attractor 0.

$🌀 Hyperbolic beauty. The Rössler attractor is a space phase modeled after the Rössler mathematical system originated in 1976 by the German biochemist Otto Rössler. The original design was intended to behave similarly to the Lorenz attractor but in a more simplified way to be analyzed. This vector spaces shares common features with other chaotic attractors like strangeness, unpredictability, self similarity, bifurcation, instability and fractal iterations. What defines the Rössler evolutive dance is that a set of hyperbolic lines follow an outward spiral close to the plane around an unstable fixed point causing a rise and twist in the spatial domain. The visualization of these manifolds revolves around these two coordinates which repel nearby trajectories and are characterized by periodic orbits that are stable for certain parameter values. From a set of disciplines that was intended to solve at its creation like genetics, epidemiology and population dynamics, the Rössler system became useful to study chaotic orbital parameters and nonlinear oscillations such as fluid dynamics, electrical circuits, and computational simulations.$

Incredible satellite animation showing the flow of air/clouds over one of the Channel Islands of California (specifically, Santa Cruz Island). The airflow is disrupted by the island and forms a pair of huge, persistent counter-rotating vortices that look just spectacular! Also lots of waves, ripples, and other cool dynamics easily visible.... Fascinating loop for enjoyers of air and water vapor!

I wish we had anatomical models like this one when I was a medical student. Imagine future medical professionals studying anatomy on these without any limitation (such as access to anatomy models or the formaldehyde smell). This highly detailed 3D-printed hand was made by Digital Anatomy Simulations for Healthcare, LLC using Stratasys 3D printers. They can also create dental components, skulls and a range of models for assisting surgeons in preoperative planning too.

The majority of the UFOs released by the Trump administration are Orbs, or plasma bodies. These Orbs are not modern technology; they were present during WWII, when they were called Foo Fighters, but they were also reported during the Renaissance, the medieval period, and antiquity. They are ancient and connected to the religions. Here's an interesting piece of footage from the files showing a swarm of Orbs around what appears to be some kind of a platform or an oil rig in the ocean. The majority of the UFO footage comes from the Middle East and the Mediterranean. They are connected to the evolution of the soul and the afterlife.

Taylor Lorenz on the data center backlash: "I went on Eric Newcomer's podcast recently, because I'm in this community group in LA, and they found out that there's a data center in downtown LA. It's not a hyperscale. The comments are like, this is why I've been feeling off, or my dog has cancer." "That's not to say that there aren't serious environmental concerns with Colossus and some of these. Construction can disrupt the water table. Okay, but let's have an actual conversation about it." "Everybody has lost the plot. There's no nuance, and if you talk to a lot of these people, they can't even explain what a data center is." "A lot of the outrage about the data centers is coming from people that live in Brooklyn. You're feeding people slop and chum, and you're not moving these issues forward, and we're not talking about sustainable ways to build it." Taylor Lorenz Taylor Lorenz

Gary Moore, the man who made the guitar cry and sing, and B.B King, the man who made the blues a place for everyone. This duo took the stage and shared the same ground in one of those days back in the past. The song was a famous one, The Thrill Is Gone, mostly known with B.B King's major hit from 1970. Two blues legends, one is a student and the other one is the teacher. They are simply working on something they called blues. What a stage, what a performance. #GaryMoore #BBKing

A 19-year-old student built a little robot that goes to lectures and takes notes so they can sleep in class It is a tiny screen with an animated smiley face, sitting on a 3D-printed stickman body You just tap its face at the start of class It listens through a built-in mic, records the professor, and as soon as class ends, turns the entire lecture into a structured summary right on the display Under the hood, it runs on an ESP32 microcontroller, an OLED screen, a small battery, and an SD card The best part - the student did not even code it line by line. The entire codebase was written using Cursor AI Audio goes in, gets transcribed, AI structures the notes, and it is ready before you even leave the room Most students are still struggling to take notes while half asleep. This little guy just sits on the desk and handles it all

"Fascism is a moment in the history of the middle-class, a means by which the middle-class protects itself from the working class." --- Bernardo Bertolucci on 'The Conformist' (1970) Full Excerpt: "'The Conformist' (1970) is first a film about the bourgeoisie, the middle-class, not about fascism. I was speaking about the middle class, and fascism is a moment in the history of the middle-class, a means by which the middle-class protects itself from the working class. Whenever the working class is coming up, up, up, at this moment fascism makes its appearance. In the film there is a fascist and an anti-fascist, but the Professor in Paris, the anti-fascist, is also from the middle-class. We have two faces of the same coin, of the middle-class. One face is fascism, the other is anti-fascism, but not a Marxist anti-fascism, just an idealism. Because he is also in the middle-class, my anti-fascist is not a hero, not a positive man." (From his interview with Joan Mellen, 1975)

These stainless-steel beads form a powder that is over six times finer than flour, meaning each particle is too small to see with the naked eye. Powders like this are the basic building material of a type of metal 3D printing called "laser powder bed fusion" or (PBF-LB). It works by spreading out a thin layer of metal powder and using a powerful laser to melt the powder together into a specific shape. Then the process continues by laying down a fresh layer of powder on top and repeating. Each layer is leveled off by a wiper. It’s like the way you might level off a cup of flour with the back of a knife. To make a good 3D-printed part, the powder must be spread in an even, consistent way. Now, thanks to NIST research, we can watch the powder spreading and study its behavior. This work will improve the consistency and quality of metal 3D printed parts.

This was so fascinating. I had a teflon knitting needle on ishaan and charged it by rubbing with my Russian fur boots. Then I directed water droplets from a syringe towards the charged knitting needle and this is the resulting dynamics. The droplets, due to charge forces, go into a crazy orbit around the knitting needle. If planets were cylindrical this would be the orbit of its moons due to gravity.

One of my childhood dreams was to one day ride aboard the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 from the original Star Trek series. I have now realized perhaps the next best thing: creating the USS Enterprise from scratch with GPT-6 Astra using a CAD program! The entire starship was designed directly inside CAD (AutoFusion), with 28 moving parts, the captain’s bridge, several interior areas, and a design that could potentially be 3D printed! The video below was also created by Astra of the actual CAD designed model of the starship. I’ll share a separate video showing it in much more detail, and I’ll put all the CAD files on GitHub as soon as I finish designing a few more parts. 😊 This feels so magical! As Sam Altman has said, using AI now feels like having a genie that grants your wishes! A childhood dream that once existed only in my imagination is now something I can actually design, build, explore, and perhaps soon even hold in my hands! Only stars are the limit!

FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH??? Varshita, a 10th class student at Government Gurukul School Vangara died by suicide recently! Varshitha was school topper, school captain and an excellent student. She even recently received an award from the district collector. She came back home from Diwali vacation and immediately called her parents to come take her because the principal and vice principal were harassing her. She reported them for pilfering school supplies. Varshitha died by suicide in the hostel barely an hour after calling her parents. Don’t know what is worse! Varshitha’s death or her body was transported in a tractor instead of ambulance!!!! Meanwhile, her harassers are all fine! Happened in #Telangana #ValueOfTruth
