Triple Pendulum Control
A few years ago Dr. Tobias Glück from Technische Universität Wien, found that along with his mathematical insights, computers and numerical methods were now fast enough to swing-up and balance a pendulum, on a pendulum, on pendulum on a sliding rail under computer control.
IEEE CSS Video Clip Contest 2014 Submission
Triple Pendulum on a Cart (YT ~1 min.): https://goo.gl/XkKxHL
The presented work deals with the swing-up of the triple pendulum on a cart. The swing-up maneuver is accomplished within a two-degrees-of-freedom control scheme consisting of a nonlinear feedforward controller and an optimal feedback controller. Based on a precise mathematical model, the feedforward controller was obtained by solving a nonlinear two-point boundary value problem with free parameters. A time-variant Riccati Controller was developed in order to stabilize the system along the nominal trajectory and an Extended Kalman Filter was used to estimate the non-measurable states. The overall control strategy for the swing-up maneuver was successfully implemented and tested on an experimental test bench. Up to the authors’ knowledge, this is the first contribution so far providing numerical and experimental results of the swing-up maneuver for a triple pendulum on a cart.

Restorative poses are so great, and especially with supports ... World University and Schoo's wiki, 'Yoga,' subject page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Yoga :) ...
"Why not a vigorous practice? When someone is deeply fatigued, a dynamic practice, like a double espresso, can be depleting, despite its initial invigorating jolt.
Restorative yoga, on the other hand, soothes the senses, so they stop urging the mind and nervous system to react and instead turn their attention inward—on the breath or embedded tension, for example."

A wee bit of Yoga in beautiful Montana next year (Feathered Pipe Ranch is beautiful ... I was there in the mid-1980s)

Imagine yoga before it was transformed in its journey to the West. Imagine a personalized, breath-centered practice, passed down from individual teacher to student. A Yoga for the well being of the whole person; something that would provide a vehicle for learning to truly take care of ourselves and ease the pains of life.

What would A&V Yoga in beautiful Tibet online (in a realistic virtual earth, for example) be like - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Yoga ?
Tibetan civilization has a long history of creative interaction with our various neighbors. #Tibet has been particularly close to Mongolia since the 13th century. Strong friendship & continuing religious & cultural ties between our two countries have marked our subsequent history. In the 20th century, however, both Mongolians & Tibetans suffered the effects of the communist dictatorship and its destructive traits. Thankfully, #Mongolia has now emerged from that dark era & is beginning to revive and renew its religious and cultural roots. ~ HH 14th Dalai Lama

Yogically, what happens to our consciousness when we read, watch and understand Yonatan's post here? (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Yoga & http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Consciousness) ... and how would this work in a realistic virtual earth - re a Harbin warm pool in Google Street View, for example (and at the neuronal and atomic levels)?
Today, a simple illustration of physics. You might wonder why so much liquid splashes backwards; you can see what's happening most clearly with the water bottle (second from the bottom). The bullet strikes the liquid and starts transferring energy to it. (That energy transfer is why a bullet damages things) This, in turn, pushes a wave forward, moving faster than the bullet until it strikes the front wall and begins to break it. That breakage will be amplified by the bullet's impact a moment later, but before that, the wave has started to bounce back -- until shortly afterwards, it strikes the back wall, already damaged by the bullet hole, and blows it open.
All of this works because the bullet is travelling slower than the speed of sound in the liquid. (The speed of sound in liquid is much higher than it is in air) If the bullet were travelling much faster, around 3,400mph, then you would see a different reaction: the bullet would strike the front wall before the wave did, and by the time the wave hit it there would be much less for it to bounce against. Almost all of the splatter would fly forward, in that case.
If the bullet were travelling faster still, at around 11,000mph, it would be going faster than the speed of sound in glass, and things would change even more: the bullet would make it out of the glass before the shock waves from the impact had a chance to spread, and it would punch a fairly clean hole through it rather than shattering it. Of course, the impact of the water wave (if it were a filled bottle target) would then shatter the glass anyway.
I know this thanks to Prof. Bob Laughlin, a slightly mad physicist (and Nobel laureate) for whom I TA'd for many years. He asked a version of this question on the qualifying exam for the PhD, asking students to design a new "Star Wars"-type defense system called Brilliant Potroast. The idea (an improvement, no doubt, over the real "brilliant pebbles" design) was that we would attach rocket engines to a bunch of pot roasts, put them in orbit, and then fire them at incoming ICBM's; students were tasked with doing all the calculations for this, from calculating fuel needs to describing what would happen when a pot roast struck a nuclear missile.
The correct answer turned out to depend on the angle and position of impact, because (given orbital speeds and so on) the relative speed of the pot roast and the missile could fall anywhere above or below the speeds of sound in pot roast, structural Aluminum, and Plutonium. In almost all the cases, though, the effect would look sort of like a "water balloon:" the pot roast would punch a hole almost straight through the missile, and splatter outwards as it flew like a water balloon hitting, well, an ICBM.
Hopefully, this would damage critical components of the missile, and/or make it aerodynamically unstable once it reentered the atmosphere. Alternatively, you could design the flying meatsacks to deliberately hit the missile at an angle so that it would always be below the speed of sound in structural metals, and cause much more shattering along the length of the missile.
As a footnote: When Prof. Laughlin won the Nobel, the department held a party for him. A bunch of students got together and got him a very large pot roast as a gift.
