Make wave behavior visible with a long helical spring
The Helical Spring, better known as “Snaky,” is a classic, high-impact tool for teaching the fundamentals of wave theory in a way students can see and understand. With its long, flexible design, this spring makes it easy to demonstrate transverse and longitudinal waves, standing waves, interference, and wave behavior at the interface of two media. Measuring 2 cm in diameter and 180 cm long (collapsed), Snaky delivers large, clear wave motion that’s ideal for classroom demonstrations.
Why Teachers Love the Helical Spring (“Snaky”)
- Withstands repeated student use: High-quality construction—no flimsy knockoffs.
- Powerful wave demonstrations: Easily create standing waves, interference patterns, and wave reflections.
- Concept clarity: Show that wave speed is independent of amplitude and help derive the wave equation visually.
- Versatile and engaging: Works for quick demos, guided labs, and inquiry-based exploration.

Product Details
Derive the wave equation. Create standing waves. Show that wave speed is independent of amplitude. Demonstrate constructive and destructive interference with the Helical Spring or better known as "Snaky". It is ideal for demonstrating fundamentals of wave theory, including transverse and longitudinal waves and wave behavior at the interface of two media.
This high-quality Helical Spring is 2cm in diameter and180cm long, and unlike other lower-quality knockoffs, it's designed to last any punishments students throw at it.
