Description
Here is a suggestion for a new CC which may be interesting for the community.
Lorenz Chaotic Waterwheel:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some real-world examples of the waterwheel can be found at:

The waterwheel is interesting for the following reasons:
-deals with physics-based rotational motion with torque instead of Newtonian force
-each shovel (or cup/bucket) has a hole at their bottom) causing a variation of the total torque applied to the wheel. The droplets from the leaking shovels may also (by gravitation) fall into the shovels beneath them. The end result should be a time-varying (unpredictable or chaotic) angular velocity of the wheel.
Hope to see a 2-d example (in p5.js) of the waterwheel as a coding challenge in the near future. Maybe Matter.js could be used for the collision detection between the droplets and shovels...
Keep up the good work Daniel!
