Nonlinear dynamics experiments.

One can build an apparatus for a bead which rolls on a rotating hoop. The hoop must be driven by a
motor, so there is some non-trivial construction to do. Then one compares to theory.
Chaos experiments
dripping faucet
rotating magnet in a sinusoidal field
chaotic circuit
One would need to do several of the chaos ones, I think. (Dr. Syed would know more.)
