The Lorenz system is one of a few standard oscillators commonly used to explore chaos [1]. An accessible description of its mathematical features and chaotic dynamics is presented by Thompson and Stewart [2]. This important system was originally developed as a simplified mathematical model of atmospheric instabilities and does not derive from a ba

sic circuit topology. As such, realizing an electronic Lorenz oscillator requires an explicit analog computer implementation of the oscillator equations. A few designs for realizing a Lorenz attractor have been published in the literature [3 ‘14]. Here, we present an original circuit design that is derived directly from the Lorenz system equations. where X, Y, and Z are the states of the system and s, R, and b are parameters. Typical parameter values that yields chaotic dynamics are s=10, R=30, and b=8/3. For these values, the attractor generated by numerically integrating (1) is shown in Figure1. Typical waveforms for the three dynamical states are shown in Figure2. To obtain a practical circuit design for the Lorenz system, it is necessary to scale the system equations. To this end, we define the new system states For a practical circuit, it is desirable to use ±10 ‘V signals to represent the system states. Based on the magnitude of the oscillations shown in Figure1, choosing a=1/3 yields states that map directly to the desired voltage range. As such, the scaled system is Figure3. Numerical Lorenz attractor for the scaled system with a=1/3. A circuit schematic that closely realizes the scaled Lorenz system is shown in Figure4. The voltages at the nodes labeled x, y, and z correspond to the states of the scaled system (4). The multipliers are each AD633, for which the additional summing node is grounded. The operational...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
