Chaotic demonstrations

How can you make a chaotic oscillator?

Two references are:

1. T. S. Parker and L. O. Chua, Chaos: a tutorial for engineers, _Proceedings

IEEE_ 75 (1987), pp. 982-1008.

2. _New Scientist_, June 30, 1990, p. 37.

What are laboratory demonstrations of chaos?

Robert Shaw at UC Santa Cruz experimented with chaos in dripping taps. This is described in:

1. J. P. Crutchfield, Chaos, _Scientific American_ 255, 6 (Dec. 1986), pp. 38-49.

2. I. Stewart, _Does God Play Dice?: the Mathematics of Chaos_, B. Blackwell, New York, 1989.

Two references to other laboratory demonstrations are:

1. K. Briggs, Simple Experiments in Chaotic Dynamics, _American Journal of Physics_ 55, 12 (Dec 1987), pp. 1083-1089.

2. J. L. Snider, Simple Demonstration of Coupled Oscillations, _American Journal of Physics_ 56, 3 (Mar 1988), p. 200
