This is an instructive model of the connection between circular motion, sine wave, and phase velocity. Cylindrically arranged strings carry a spiral arrangement of spheres.
In the shadow projection, one sees a stationary sine curve. When the cylinder is rotated, a sine wave is seen to propagate to the right or to the left, depending on the direction of rotation.
Finally, we want to convince ourselves once more that each sphere only moves up and down without propagating along the axial direction.
Its motion is sinusoidal.
