An attempt at simulating Newton's cradle

The attached is my attempt to simulate the Newton's Cradle toy. Using the Augie vector Processor (AVP). I usually run the simulatio
n with a speed setting of ~40%.
What I expected would be to observe alternati
ng single right - left deflectio
ns once I start the model by deflectin
g the right most ball. If I deflect two or more right balls then the right/left cycles should match the initial number of balls deflected
.
Some of my initial settings for the model were based on my experimen
ts with Body energy Coefficie
nt and Bounce % that I published under an earlier post.
After some unsuccess
ful looking simulatio
ns I started to experimen
t with varying Pivot energy. I'm still not completel
y happy with the simulatio
n having seen videos of such a toy in action.
Can you explain what Pivot energy is?

Hi Bill:
I believe pivot energy was a resistanc
e to pivot, but Ill have to check the code..bee
n a very long time since
Ive used that vector processor, I was toying with remving it, it wasa fun experimen
t but Im not so sure its
ever going to go forward in its current form.. I may just leave it there till I get around to a better one though...
