No, I didn't recommend
The principle is excellent, but the product is lacking. It is simply PVC pipe that is friction fit together. It fell apart as I was testing it out before I could use it in class (5 mins after unboxing) and the wires came out off of the battery holder--luckily, I was able to repair it with some spare wire. I am considering rebuilding it using threaded PVC pieces so that it does not fall apart as easily.

Variable Standing Wave Generator
Educational Materials Physics Educational Materials Waves and Oscillations Learning Activities
An exciting, interactive exploration, this generator includes various mass attachments to investigate degrees of string tension in standing waves.

  • Ø×L: 3×15 cm
  • String length: 5.5 m
  • Weight: 0.5 kg
The device features a battery-operated motor with an off balanced bolt attached to the shaft. When running, this motor creates a vibration in the string that sets up a standing wave along the entire length of string. The nuts on the bottom alow you to change the center of mass, and therefore change the frequency of the standing waves. The top eyebolt allows slotted masses to be attached, so the affect of string tension on the wavelength can also be investigated. Developed by Bruce Yeany.
