The ModalTron™ is the world's coolest, easy to use, affordable and most versatile cymatics device. It may be used with any of the three main modes or methods often seen in cymatics demonstrations such as dry powder, liquids and Chladni Plate Vibrations[1] demonstrations.
It has been our intent to provide for every day users a simple, affordable, easy to use and rugged cymatics device. With this well thought out design those goals have been abundantly met.
The ModalTron™ is a hands-on learning device. The ModalTron™ introduces to young and old basic concepts about vibration, oscillation and mode formation as also the interactions between rhythmic movement and different forms of matter (liquids and solids).
The geometric patterns formed by all cymatics devices or the ModalTron™ are more formally called modes (each pattern) or nodal lines. The ModalTron™ can therefore be used as an introduction to the fascinating sciences of modal analysis and Sympathetic Vibratory Physics.
