Doesn't seem too difficult or expensive to make the plate.
I had to look up Chladni plate, never heard of it prior to now. Seems to be a few experiments people have done before.

Very cool to visualize the waves that way.

That'd be fun to do with an anisotropic material and see what patterns it produces.

YouTube is hanging as usual. Looks like salt to me...not sand.

That's incredible.

I very much agree
