Cymatics

Patterns produced by sound vibrations

We have many years experience of performing cymatics demonstrations & activities, using either:

• a Chladni plate with scattered grains forming patterns as the plate vibrates due to being bowed, or

• a laser beam reflected on vibrating objects

• a powerful speaker driver with grains, liquids or non-Newtonian fluids, responding to sine waves produced by a signal generator and/or Bass Drives. See Bass Buzz for more.
