Plastic bottle oscillator as an on-off-type oscillator: experiments, modeling, and stability analyses of single and coupled systems

Chemical memory with states coded in light controlled oscillations of interacting Belousov–Zhabotinsky droplets

The information storing potential of droplets, in which an oscillatory, photosensitive Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction proceeds, is investigated experimentally.

Experimental and modeling analysis of asymmetrical on-off oscillation in coupled non-identical inverted bottle oscillators

Upside-down bottles containing water which are common in our daily life exhibit rich vibration dynamics. Rich dynamic regimes are observed in bottle oscillators by directly measuring the pressure difference between inside and outside of a bottle with the aid of pressure sensors. We observe experimentally that an asymmetrical oscillation process between the outflow of water and the inflow of air is formed in a single bottle oscillator and, in addition, a kind of 2:1 frequency synchronization occurs in a coupled system of two non-identical bottle oscillators. The peak values of the oscillation of pressure differences between inside and outside of the bottle decease as the height of the liquid surface steps down, while the oscillation period increases gradually. The theoretical model of the oscillator is amended to understand the regimes in the experiment by introducing time-dependent parameters related to the asymmetrical oscillation processes. Our numerical results based on the model fit well with the experimental ones.
