Chua's circuit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chua's circuit is a simple electronic circuit that exhibits classic chaos theory behavior. It was introduced in 1983 by Leon O. Chua, who was a visitor at Waseda University in Japan at that time. The ease of construction of the circuit has made it a ubiquitous real-world example of a chaotic system, leading some to declare it a paradigm for chaos.
Lorenzian waterwheel
The Lorenzian waterwheel is a physical device which is modeled by the Lorenz equations. The equations take the name of Ed Lorenz the scientist who discovered them while studying weather dynamics.
