About ‘Poinsot's Dancing Cones’ by Elke Stangl (elkement)
I have always loved the physics of the gyroscope. There are so many different mathematical / conceptual / geometrical ways to capture the same thing!
Here, I am visualizing the motion of a gyroscope free of external forces, involving three cones, following Louis Poinsot.
I am using my decades old physics education - and…

Elke Stangl (elkement) is an Austrian physics PhD working as an engineer. Her mathematical art is borne out of her life-long passion for the theoretical underpinnings of her craft. She is creating virtual three-dimensional structures from mathematical functions – digitally with code or with ruler and compass, using traditional techniques of descriptive geometry.
Her initial inspiration was Sir Roger Penrose’s book The Road to Reality, the hand-crafted drawings…
