Physics of the Mobilarium

Abstract

In this paper the Mobilarium is analyzed. A device built in such a way that its motion, caused by wind, is chaotic. I will try to provide a working model of the device, and understand its properties. Equilibrium states will be found and I will research their stability. I will also make approximations for certain situations, like oscillations around equilibrium positions, to find exact solutions. I will test numerical solutions to my model with data from the motion of the real device and suggest future improvements that could be done to the model.
