The first experimental implementation of the OGY control algorithm was done by Ditto, Rauseo, and Spano using a magnetic ribbon, extended vertically and bent under its weight.

| Ribbon at rest | Chaotic oscillation | Stabilized fixed point | Stabilized 2-cycle |
| A varying magnetic field drove the ribbon into chaotic oscillations. |
| Unstable fixed points and cycles were identified within the chaos. |
| Control was achieved by small modifications to the constant component of the magnetic field. |
| Here are some of the results. |
