Description
Savart’s tone wheel apparatus is a STEM acoustics demonstrator that generates audible tones using toothed metal discs. The set consists of four metal discs about 73 mm diameter mounted on a central shaft so the discs can be rotated. Each disc has a different number of teeth, and when a stiff card is held against the edge of a rotating disc, the teeth produce a clear tone.
The four tooth counts are 36, 45, 54, and 72, forming the ratio 4:5:6:8. When all four discs are sounded together against the stiff card, the combined tones form a natural musical chord, allowing students to explore frequency ratios, harmonics, and tone relationships through direct listening.
