How It Works

Fixed View for Continuous Path Observation:

• The view stays centered on the wheel as it moves

• You can continuously observe the beautiful patterns created by all three strings

• The paths extend indefinitely as the wheel continues to roll

The wheel rolls along a virtual ground, and the attached strings create complex curves called trochoids.

You can adjust the radii of each string and control which elements are visible to create different patterns.
