DR. BALINKIN AND HIS WAVE MACHINE A GBJITNGJBTNNAGTTAN AMDS JEN lllDlRtlDlBllRllB$$ I'DR. Isn BALtNKIN, a Cincinnatian and an instructor of physics at the University of Cincinnati, contributes toward progress by an invention of a wave machine, a device capable of demonstrating more than thirty different wave phenomena, Among these impulses, reflections in a medium, vibrating strings, energy transw mission and absorption in wave motion, showing the analogue of polarization in light, of vibrations in organ pipes, and of phenomena associated with alternating Current circuits. It is believed students will be able to understand wave motion better after demonstration and that the machine will therefore facilitate the teaching of physics. Not only can the student profit but also the phenomenon can better be studied by physicists. The radiation pressure of the sun, predicted over sixty years ago by Maxwell, can also be demonstrated. Dr. Balinkin developed this apparatus While working on the physiCal exhibits for the World's Fair in the laboratories of the Central Scientific Company ofChicago. The litst model of the new wave machine was donated by the company to the Uni- versity of Cincinnati. The apparatus will be on display in the Hall of Science at the International Exposition during the summer of 1933. I6
