This ripple tank is transparent, acrylic plastic and supported in a sturdy plastic frame.
- Large Viewing Area
- Frame Can Hold Four Legs
- Shaped Tank Edges Minimize Undesired Reflections
- Motor: 4—6VDC
- Motor's Eccentric Weight Causes Beam to Oscillate
The frame has recesses to hold four legs with leveling feet. The tank has a drain hole closed by a rubber stopper, and the tank edges are shaped to minimize undesired reflections. Two light alloy uprights carry a horizontal ripple support rod, which is adjustable for height. The ripple assembly, elastically suspended from the support rod, consists of a 4—6VDC motor mounted on a wooden beam. The motor has an eccentric weight that causes the beam to oscillate.
Two plastic spheres provide point sources. A metal rod is fixed centrally into a socket in one short side of the frame to afford support to the illuminant.
