Hand held long torsional wave device

• B+25+27

diagram for demo

A series of parallel rods are stretched in between two people held together by a wire running through the center. A person on one end can generate a pulse to show a torsional wave travelling along the apparatus. The pulse lasts for enough distance to go all the way across then reflect.
