💧 Lorenz Waterwheel Chaos Simulator (2D)

A 2D side-view Malkus waterwheel: buckets fill with water, leak, and spin under gravity torque, reproducing the chaotic direction reversals of the Lorenz equations. Adjust inflow, leak rate, friction and bucket count.

⚙ Under the hood

A side-view Malkus waterwheel where buckets fill with water, leak, and spin under gravity torque, reproducing the same chaotic direction reversals as the Lorenz equations. Adjust inflow rate, leak rate, friction and bucket count to explore stable, chaotic, and edge-of-chaos regimes.
