Spiral Shape

A spiral shape

A snail's shell is spiral in form.

There's a gyroscope in it.

And you can see a little bit of double helix forming there.

Curls on Green

Spiraling, spinning, and very, very fast splashes of color rush toward the screen. Written by Teemu Suutari 1998.

Where's the propellers?

Draws a set of interacting, square spiral producing automata. The spirals grow outward until they hit something, then they go around it. Written by Jeff Epler 1999.

So in this picture you see that rotor four is spinning faster and rotor two is spinning slower.

Hexacopters and octocopters, with six and eight propellers, can provide redundancy, but quadrocopters are much more popular because they have the minimum number of fixed motor propeller pairs four.

So it has four rotors.

OK, so here, this is the book spiral.

It's a double helix.

Cockpit, propeller, engine.

Italy s Downward Spiral

This generates a languidly scrolling vertical field of sinusoidal colors. Written by Jamie Zawinski 2007.

Spirally string art ish patterns. Written by Jamie Zawinski 1992.

This behaves schizophrenically and makes a lot of typos. Written by Jamie Zawinski 1997.

My spine curves spiral.

You'll be familiar with the double helix of DNA.

They bail out as soon as they get to the top of Saint Ivo, that little spiral structure you see there.

And then finally, if you spin opposite pairs of rotors faster than the other pair, then the robot yaws about the vertical axis.

Your monkey wrench, Mr. Newton.

You mix them together and they make a rigid double helix.

So there's a strand that goes like this, goes along one helix and binds it jumps to another helix and comes back.
