All you need is a string (ones with small, horizontal stripes work best for visualization), a mechanical oscillator, and a signal generator This is actually a fun experiment in real life.

I don't know where you find all the physics simulations, but they are great! Keep them coming! I did my graduate work in dynamics (vibration emphasis), so I can tell you that programming something like this is non-trivial. There are a lot of short cuts that could have gotten the basic points across, but they took the time to make it really physically meaningful. This is a good example of what I love about Neatorama.
