Building a Lorenz Chaos Circuit for Class: Has anyone built a similar system and could help me figure out why my circuit isn't oscillating?
Hi everyone,
As part of my coursework, I need to build a Lorenz oscillator as an analog electronic circuit. I have been working from the model described here: http://seti.harvard.edu/unusual_stuff/misc/lorenz.htm
Despite many attempts, my prototype never produces the expected oscillations. I have re-wired the connections multiple times, but nothing seems to change. After some research online, I noticed that many people use Analog Devices components rather than Texas Instruments ones.
So my question is: do you think that replacing the multipliers — and possibly the capacitors as well — with Analog Devices equivalents could finally get the circuit working?
I would also like to ask whether anyone who has already built this circuit would be willing to share a photo of their prototype and their output results.
Thanks in advance!
