🌀 Tourbillon Lab: How a Rotating Cage Averages Out the Poise Error of a Balance Wheel
3D tourbillon built in Blender: an unbalanced balance wheel runs fast or slow depending on its orientation to gravity, and the rotating cage averages the positional error, checked by simulation against a Bessel-function formula.
