Abstract
I present a chaotic pendulum based on the repulsive force between a random array of point sources of air flow and the conical tip of a rigid pendulum. Source code is provided for generation of random aperture arrays. The chaotic motion was analyzed using machine vision techniques. A computer simulation of this system is also presented, as are the results of some example simulations.
