The Jerk equation

Information

The name of the system stems from the third derivative of x, which – in a mechanical system – is the derivative of acceleration called jerk.

The Jerk equation has been investigated in different versions. The version implemented here uses a diode as described in [Buscarino] and [Sprott2011] .
Nice feature: The layout is quite simple, it should not be very challenging to create a PCB.

Plot x vs. y vs. z.
Default parameter A = 0.3 shows periodic results.
Change parameter A = 1.0 to obtain chaotic results.
