🛤️ Coupled Oscillators on an Air Track 3D Physics Simulation: Normal Modes, Beats and Energy Transfer - 3D Blender Lab

Two or three carts on a frictionless air track joined by springs: pull one cart and watch the energy slosh between them, excite a single normal mode, change masses and spring constants and see the eigenfrequencies, beats and spectrum update with live checks.
