Operation Instructions

​The tension can be controlled by the operator, and the speed of the pusle will change accordingly. 

For an easily seen pusle, hold the rope with one hand and displace the rope by ~18" with your other hand.  Give a count down to get the student's attention.  Once released, the pulse will travel down the rope and be reflected back to the operator.  

**to use as a standing wave, do a jump-rope style motion to exite standing waves, though very tiresome.**
