Sinusoidal Bellows

Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
A sine curve is rotated to form a corrugated cylinder, which is then expanded to simulate the motion of a bellows. The controls vary the parameters of the sine curve, including the distance from the rotation axis, the amplitude, and the wave length.
