The Levitating Slinky

Collaborators: Alexander Diez Gonzales

Project grade: A

An interactive simulation of the levitation phenomenon demonstrated by a Slinky when released while hanging in mid-air. The simulation was developed using Unity 3D, modified C# code from a rope simulation that was provided through the course, and a Blender model to represent the Slinky's rings. The simulation was evaluated against existing mathematical models and other simulations of the same phenomenon.
