GeoGebra machine that draws a seemingly 3D projection of a piece of macaroni.
This is basically a mechanical setup with two engines rotating, and a stick connected to one, sliding on the other and drawing with its end.
I calculated the parametric function path it follows, and it is something like:

\left(3\cdot\sin\left(t\right)-\frac{20}{\sqrt{\frac{3\sin\left(t\right)-4\sin\left(1.55\cdot t\right)}{3\cos\left(t\right)-4\cos\left(1.55\cdot t\right)+10}^{2}+1}}\cdot\frac{3\sin\left(t\right)-4\sin\left(1.55\cdot t\right)}{3\cos\left(t\right)-4\cos\left(1.55\cdot t\right)+10},\ 3\cdot\cos\left(t\right)-\frac{20}{\sqrt{\frac{3\sin\left(t\right)-4\sin\left(1.55\cdot t\right)}{3\cos\left(t\right)-4\cos\left(1.55\cdot t\right)+10}^{2}+1}}\right)

Throw this in www.desmos.com/calculator/ksjcpazwa9?lang=nl
with 0 to t to 200

Whats even more fun is to use a version with variables and add sliders for those vars
I reverse checked some of the cool shapes i got here in geogebra and they are all drawable

\left(a\cdot\sin\left(t\right)-\frac{d}{\sqrt{\frac{a\sin\left(t\right)-b\sin\left(f\cdot t\right)}{a\cos\left(t\right)-b\cos\left(f\cdot t\right)+c}^{2}+1}}\cdot\frac{a\sin\left(t\right)-b\sin\left(f\cdot t\right)}{a\cos\left(t\right)-b\cos\left(f\cdot t\right)+c},\ a\cdot\cos\left(t\right)-\frac{d}{\sqrt{\frac{a\sin\left(t\right)-b\sin\left(f\cdot t\right)}{a\cos\left(t\right)-b\cos\left(f\cdot t\right)+c}^{2}+1}}\right)
a=3
b=4
c=10
d=20
f=1.55

    IronException probably liked this a lot. Reminds me a bit of Fourier Series, and didn't realize that you could project 3D graphs into 3d like this. Either way, this is really cool.

    That's one seriously good edit....

    I'm just stunned ... It's so beautiful even if I don't even begin to comprehend the math behind that movement. Does it start repeating the pattern at any point or does it follow an infinite drawing pattern?

    Not sure what this was, but i can vibe to the music so it doesnt matter song name?
