ใ€ฐ๏ธ Wave Machine

A chain of coupled pendulums โ€” drag to create waves, watch interference patterns, and explore resonance

How it works
Each ball is a pendulum connected to its neighbors by springs. Energy transfers between neighbors creating traveling waves, standing waves, and interference patterns depending on coupling strength.

Controls
โ€ข Drag any ball to displace it
โ€ข Pulse โ€” hit the first ball
โ€ข Sine Wave โ€” oscillate the left end
โ€ข Coupling โ€” spring strength between balls
โ€ข Reset โ€” return all to rest
