You build physics toys, and you have dropped a garden hose with the water on full.
Build me a single HTML page: a garden hose lying on a lawn, the spigot on, and the nozzle released.
The build
- A hose of fixed length, pinned at the spigot at one end, free at the nozzle end. It bends, carries mass, and does not stretch.
- Water pressure control shown on screen in psi, adjustable from 0 to full and back down.
- Water leaving the nozzle pushes back on it. At low pressure the hose settles. Past some pressure it starts to whip across the lawn. Lowering the pressure settles it again.
- Water particles exit along the current nozzle vector and land on the ground.
- Clicking and dragging pins that point of the hose to the mouse; releasing frees it.
- Loading the page as
#psi=40sets the pressure to 40 psi with the nozzle free on load. Any number works. - The art is yours.
House rules
- One file. Everything inline — no CDN, no external stylesheet, font, script or image.
data:URIs are fine. - No libraries. No physics engine — write your own.
- No network at runtime.
- No
localStorage,sessionStorage, cookies orindexedDB— sandboxed frame, they throw. - Return the file as exactly one fenced
htmlblock.
Answer in exactly these sections
The model
One paragraph, before the file: how the hose discretization and inextensibility constraints are implemented, the formula for the nozzle reaction force as a function of psi, and ground friction handling.
The prediction
The pressure in psi at which the hose transitions from stationary or settling to continuous whipping, as one number, derived from your model parameters.
The page
The single fenced html block.
What it actually does
Where the motion looks like a real hose and where it does not. Name any artificial damping, injected noise or scripted oscillation. Everyone has watched a hose get away from somebody; say what yours gets wrong before I see it.
assistant
The model
The hose (length $L = 4.50\text{ m}$) is discretized into $N = 30$ inextensible segments of length $\Delta s = 0.15\text{ m}$ ($N+1$ nodes, with node $0$ pinned at the spigot $\mathbf{r}0$ and moving nodes $i = 1\dots N$ each carrying mass $m = \rho_L \Delta s = 0.06\text{ kg}$ for linear density $\rho_L = 0.40\text{ kg/m}$). At each substep ($10$ substeps per $60\text{ Hz}$ frame, $\Delta t \approx 1/600\text{ s}$), elastic bending forces derive from discrete Euler-Bernoulli curvature energy $U_b = \sum{i=0}^{N-1} \frac{EI}{2\Delta s}\theta_i^2$ with $EI = 0.20\text{ N}\cdot\text{m}^2$ (clamped along $\mathbf{t}0 = (1,0)$ at the spigot) plus a small viscoelastic bending-rate damper $\gamma_b = 0.0005\text{ N}\cdot\text{m}^2\cdot\text{s}$ on $\dot{\theta}i$, and inextensibility $|\mathbf{r}i - \mathbf{r}{i-1}| = \Delta s$ is enforced via $24$ alternating forward/backward Gauss-Seidel position projections followed by $4$ cleanup passes holding static nodes fixed. Assuming incompressible water ($\rho_w = 1000\text{ kg/m}^3$) exiting an effective nozzle orifice area $A_e = 1.20 \times 10^{-5}\text{ m}^2$ at Bernoulli velocity $v_e = \sqrt{2 P / \rho_w}$, the nozzle momentum reaction force acting backward along the terminal segment tangent $-\mathbf{t}N$ is $F_T(P) = \rho_w A_e v_e^2 = 2 A_e P{\text{Pa}} = 0.16547 , P{\text{psi}}\text{ N}$. Ground friction is handled inside the Gauss-Seidel loop via a clamped dual-impulse friction projection on each node's substep displacement bounded by $r{\max} = \mu g \Delta t^2$ ($g = 9.81\text{ m/s}^2$), switching from static ($\mu_s = 0.52$) below $0.02\text{ m/s}$ to kinetic ($\mu_k = 0.42$) when sliding, so stuck nodes exhibit zero numerical creep while moving nodes experience continuous Coulomb deceleration.
The prediction
25 psi
Derived from the model parameters: to sustain continuous whipping over an active distal length $\ell$, the follower thrust must exceed both Beck's dynamic flutter load ($20.05,EI/\ell^2$) and the kinetic Coulomb friction drag ($\mu_k \rho_L g \ell$). Minimizing $F_T(\ell) = 20.05,EI/\ell^2 + \mu_k \rho_L g \ell$ gives an optimal active length $\ell_* = (40.10,EI / (\mu_k \rho_L g))^{1/3} = (8.02 / 1.648)^{1/3} = 1.695\text{ m}$, a critical thrust $F_c = 4.01 / 1.695^2 + 1.648 \times 1.695 = 4.19\text{ N}$ (exceeding static friction over $\ell_{\text{slide}} = 4.19 / (0.52 \times 3.924) = 2.05\text{ m} > \ell_*$), and therefore $P_c = 4.19 / 0.16547 = 25.3\text{ psi} \approx 25\text{ psi}$.

What it actually does
Where it looks real: At low pressures (0–20 psi), the hose nudges backward slightly until bending stiffness and ground friction lock it into a gentle curve, spraying a calm arc onto the lawn. Above roughly 25 psi, the follower thrust overcomes bending stiffness and grass friction along the free end, buckling the hose into sweeping S-curves and figure-eights that whip the nozzle across the yard and fling curved water ribbons onto the grass. Grabbing behind the nozzle pins a pivot while the tip continues to whip around your cursor; dropping the pressure below threshold lets Coulomb grass friction brake and settle the hose again.
Where it gets a real hose wrong:
- Strictly 2D hose motion: A real whipping garden hose leaps vertically off the grass, twists torsionally, and vaults over itself in 3D; here the hose is constrained to the horizontal ground plane (only the water droplets are 3D), so it slithers across the lawn rather than jumping into the air.
- No self-collision: Hose segments pass cleanly through other segments and across the spigot without snagging, tangling, or knotting.
- No internal fluid momentum or pressure drop: We omit the Darcy-Weisbach pressure gradient along the hose and the internal fluid-conveying Coriolis and centrifugal forces ($2\rho_w A_h v_h \partial_{st}\mathbf{r} + \rho_w A_h v_h^2 \partial_{ss}\mathbf{r}$) around tight bends, modeling only the terminal nozzle momentum thrust.
- No cross-sectional kinking: Real vinyl or rubber hoses buckle flat and pinch off water flow past a sharp curvature; our discrete Euler-Bernoulli angle spring resists bending smoothly up to $\pm\pi$ without collapsing or throttling pressure.
- Uniform grass and launch angle: Real lawns have uneven tufts and friction drops on soaked grass, whereas we apply constant $\mu_s, \mu_k$ everywhere and a fixed $5^\circ$ upward water launch angle.
Damping, noise, and scripted oscillation: There is zero scripted oscillation and zero injected runtime noise (the hose starts in a static resting S-curve rather than mathematically collinear to $10^{-16}$, and water droplets use a deterministic nozzle spray fan). There is no global air or velocity damping on the hose; besides physical Coulomb ground friction, the only added damping is a small Kelvin-Voigt viscoelastic bending-rate term ($\gamma_b = 0.0005\text{ N}\cdot\text{m}^2\cdot\text{s}$) acting strictly on relative joint angular velocity $\dot{\theta}_i$—conserving linear and angular momentum—to suppress discrete mesh Nyquist ringing.
