Vibrations experimentsusing other commercially available turn-key apparatuses may be found in Ruhala [15]. The goalof the present research is to drive down the cost and complexity of the device so that it can beused by students at their desks or in their dorm rooms, requiring only battery power.For lumped, translating systems, harmonic excitation is most easily accomplished throughoscillatory motion.

Consideringthe assertion that phasors and reactive power are proposed threshold concepts, it is perhapssurprising to see the lack of focus in work on alternating current (AC); rather, Carstensen &Bernhard19 contend that authors are focused primarily on direct current (DC).
