Adjustable Ripple Tank Wave Generator – 0–35Hz, 12V

The Adjustable Ripple Tank Wave Generator is a gear-driven ripple maker designed for demonstrating wave behaviour in school and tertiary physics laboratories. It produces regular disturbances in the water surface of a compatible ripple tank, helping students investigate wave propagation, interference and other wave phenomena.

Indent Product: This item is ordered specially on request and is not normally held in stock. Please contact us for availability and an estimated lead time before ordering.

The generator features adjustable phase and an integral speed control, with an approximate operating frequency range of 0–35Hz. It clamps to the stainless steel support rail above a ripple tank and is designed to carry suitable ripple-making attachments.
