Item Album of flash animations, demonstrating oscillations, waves, and phasors(2008-01-08T03:08:08Z) Ceperley, PeterA album of 24 flash animation illustrating various principles of the physics of oscillations, waves, and phasors. The album shows an image of each animation and has various links to each.Item Animated AM modulation diagram(2011-04-01T00:00:00Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation shows the creation of a amplitude modulated signal with an animated block diagram.Item Item Animated seal to Joseph Fourier and Isaac Newton(2009-01-20T20:30:33Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animated seal portrays the essence of the common work my Isaac Newton and Joseph Fourier on the decomposition of waves into their sinusoidal components.Item Animation - phase in Fourier series(2009-02-26T05:26:43Z) Ceperley, PeterAn animation showing the effect of shifting the original function before taking a Fourier series expansion.Item Animation of 2D wave by shifting an image-reader's view(2011-05-08T00:00:00Z) Ceperley, PeterThis is one is a series of animations illustrating animation of waves for physics using swishMax and Adobe Flash. This particular animation shows the method by moving a long image repeatedly past the viewing screen to animate a two dimensional wave, from the reader point of view.Item Animation of a 2D oblique wave(2007-12-19T04:59:47Z) Ceperley, PeterAnimation of a traveling wave propagating on a two dimensional mesh. The wave is propagating at an oblique angle to either of the mesh axes.Item Animation of a 2D wave by shifting an image-programmer's view(2011-05-08T00:00:00Z) Ceperley, PeterThis is one is a series of animations illustrating animation of waves for physics using swishMax and Adobe Flash. This particular animation shows the method by moving a long image repeatedly past the viewing screen to illustrate a two dimensional wave.Item Animation of a balance wheel escapement - small(2011-03-18T00:00:00Z) Ceperley, PeterA small animation of the balance wheel escapement, which is the central timing component of mechanical watches.Item Animation of a complex oscillation multiplied by a complex constant(2007-12-03T01:26:12Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation shows two phasors rotating in time in the complex plane. One phasor is a representation of an oscillation, and the other one is that oscillation multiplied by a complex constant. The animation also shows bar graphs of the two constants and also graphs them versus time. All three are shown to progressed together in time. This animation is directed towards students understanding of the dynamic nature of the complex phasors presented in text books.Item Animation of a complex rotor(2007-12-03T01:10:20Z) Ceperley, PeterAnimation showing the time dependent behavior of the function exp(iwt). This is the central concept of representing oscillations and waves in complex forms.Item Animation of a gear train in a pendulum clock(2011-03-19T00:00:00Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation shows a functioning gear train as the backbone in a pendulum clock. The viewer can control several options.Item Animation of a Helmholtz resonator(2009-01-15T05:43:30Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation shows the operation of a Helmholtz resonator.Item Animation of a moving gaussian function(2007-12-04T05:56:29Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation shows the temporal behavior of a time shifting gaussian function. This is sometimes considered a solitary wave.Item Animation of a pulse waveform(2009-01-15T05:18:34Z) Ceperley, PeterAnimation of a pulse waveform. This waveform is commonly used in electronics and is also commonly used in teaching of Fourier integrals and transforms.Item Animation of a quartz regulated mechanical clock(2011-03-19T00:00:00Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation shows the working mechanism of a quartz clock having a mechanical movement and hands.Item Animation of a traveling wave as a complex, helical phasor.(2007-12-04T06:02:27Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation shows the time dependence of the complex phasor representation of a one dimensional traveling wave. The wave is seen as a rotating helix.Item Animation of a traveling wave as a cosine fuction.(2007-12-04T06:07:28Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation shows the time dependence of the cosine representation of a traveling wave.Item Animation of a two dimensional radial wave on a mesh(2007-12-19T05:03:14Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation shows the propagation of a radial wave on a two dimensional mesh.Item Animation of a wave as a moving disturbance(2011-05-27T00:00:00Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation emphasizes that most waves are a moving disturbance pattern, that the pattern moves but not the material through which the waves moves. This is an important concept in the physics of waves.
