Abstract

A design for a torsional wave machine of any scale has been developed. A large-scale version of this machine, over 4 m. long, is an effective teaching aid for varied classrooms. Later articles will show how to use the machine to demonstrate basic physics principles or to test theories produced concurrently with the machine.
