Savart's wheel is a musical instrument that deserves to be better known: http://windworld.com/features/gallery/savarts-wheel/
- or perhaps not.

I wouldn't want to be found playing that instrument. :)

[Bruce Page]

"Savart’s Wheel, designed by Bart Hopkin, is widely acclaimed for the fact that it makes the most obtrusive, obnoxious and irritating sound ever known."

I couldn't have said it any better.

[John Coloccia]

Must be where the term "idiot Savart" comes from. Seriously, that's even more annoying than bag pipes.

BOOM !! goes the dynamite.

Well played. Drop the mic and walk offstage. :p

[Myk Rian]

OK. Is there an audio file of it someplace?

[Jim Matthews]

I clicked the link. I think I hate you for that, Stephen.

Here's the appropriate accompaniment.
