Hydrogen-Cooled Generator Rotor Dynamics Simulator

An interactive rotor dynamics simulator for power generation turbine trains, featuring real-time vibration analysis, critical speed detection, and AI-generated rotor configurations.

Features

• 3D Rotor Visualization - Real-time animation of rotor modes and vibrations
• Interactive Shaft Editor - Modify rotor geometry and see immediate physics updates
• Critical Speed Analysis - Automatic detection of resonance zones
• Bearing Analysis - Polar plots for bearing loads and vibration
• Game Mode - Challenge yourself to tune the rotor within safe operating parameters
• AI-Powered - Uses Gemini AI to generate realistic rotor dynamics data
