WORKSHOP W9

Investigation of Deterministic Chaos by V-scope Motion Tracking System

Péter Vankó Dept. of Experimental Physics, Technical University of Budapest, Hungary and László Gránásy Research Institute for Solid State Physics and Optics, Budapest, Hungary

First-year physics students of the Technical University of Budapest carry out a wide range of measurements in the Basic Level Physics Teaching Laboratory. One of the most exciting experiments is the investigation of a chaotic double pendulum by V-scope, a powerful 3D motion tracking system.

In this workshop, after a brief introduction to the V-scope apparatus, measurements on chaotic motion will be performed. The collected data are going to be processed by Vscope for Windows and Matlab software.
