There are many formal definitions of an ergodic mechanical system.

1) A system whose time average equals the ensemble (space) average.

2) A system that visits every point in its phase space. 

Etc.

What are some actual, real examples of an ergodic mechanical system?

Also, since a chaotic system approaches an attractor and
does not visit all of its phase space, then a chaotic system
is not ergodic.  Is this a correct statement?
