A Double Pendulum, a.k.a. a Chaotic Pendulum, is a simple, jointed pendulum used to study dynamic systems/chaos theory. It’s also just a really cool widget that’s fun to watch.
Not to be confused, BTW, with Steve Jackson’s (of Steve Jackson Games fame) Chaos Machine, which is an entirely different mechanical animal.
