🧪 Eternal Energy Simulation

Interactive 3D spherical pendulum: watch total mechanical energy stay perfectly constant with zero damping (an idealized 'eternal' system), then add friction and see it decay exponentially as heat and entropy are generated in real time.

This simulation grounds the idea of "limitless" energy in real thermodynamics using a 3D spherical pendulum. With damping switched off, the pendulum's total mechanical energy — kinetic plus potential — is tracked live and stays essentially constant no matter how long it swings, an honest demonstration of energy conservation in a closed system. Dial in friction and the same system stops being eternal: energy visibly bleeds out of the mechanical readouts while an entropy counter, driven by the Clausius relation dS = δQ/T, tracks the heat that conservation of energy says must appear somewhere else. Gravity and rod-length sliders reshape the pendulum's motion from simple swinging to a complex conical orbit, and a Kick button lets you inject fresh energy at any moment to watch it either persist forever or decay away.

⚙ Under the hood

This simulation explores the concept of energy that is limitless in time. It likely demonstrates principles related to thermodynamics and conservation of energy over extended periods, potentially showcasing concepts like entropy or heat transfer.
