Galton Board Simulation

An interactive physics simulation of Galton Board.

Thanks to advanced physics engine you are able to check the behaviour of a small metal ball, dropped from the top of the Galton Desk, bouncing on the nails. Application offers many adjustable automatization features, and can also show your experiment results in clear column graph.


And what is the formal definition of Galton Board?

"The bean machine, also known as the quincunx or Galton box, is a device invented by Sir Francis Galton[1] to demonstrate the central limit theorem, in particular that the normal distribution is approximate to the binomial distribution.

The machine consists of a vertical board with interleaved rows of pins. Balls are dropped from the top, and bounce left and right as they hit the pins. Eventually, they are collected into one-ball-wide bins at the bottom. The height of ball columns in the bins approximates a bell curve." - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
