Watts, Jo, 2023, "2D Cam Explorer", https://doi.org/10.18130/V3/7GJGNC, University of Virginia Dataverse, V4
The 2D Cam Explorer is designed to be used with the mechanical wave machine. The 2D Cam Explorer represents a single segment consisting of one cam from the wave machine. After a classroom demonstration of the wave machine to illustrate wave properties, the 2D Cam Explorer can be used to enable individual students to explore the principles underlyin... |

Watts, Jo; Bull, Glen, 2023, "3D Cam Explorer", https://doi.org/10.18130/V3/L63YMY, University of Virginia Dataverse, V3
This model is designed to enable students to explore and understand the way in which the motion of a series of cams in a mechanical wave machine can simulate the motion of a wave. A cam translates rotary motion into linear motion. A circular cam reproduces the circular motion of a particle of water in an ocean wave. The mechanical motion of the cam... |
