Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
A VIBRATION GENERATOR ADAPTED FOR GENERATING UNDAMPED VIBRATIONS IN THE GROUND, SAID GENERATOR COMPRISING VIBRATION MEANS FOR GENERATING VIBRATIONS OF DETERMINABLE MAGNITUDE AND FREQUENCY AND RESONATING MEANS COUPLED TO THE VIBRATION MEANS AND TUNED SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE SAME FREQUENCY THEREOF, SAID RESONATING MEANS BEING SUPPORTED ON THE GROUND FOR APPLYING SUBSTANTIALLY UNDAMPED VIBRATIONS THERETO, SAID RESONATING MEANS INCLUDING MECHANICAL TRANSFORMER MEANS HAVING A TRANSFORMATION RATIO GREATER THAN UNITY FOR REDUCING THE MAGNITUDE OF THE VIBRATIONS IN THE RESONATING MEANS RELATIVE TO THE VIBRATION MEANS TO CAUSE THE RESONATING MEANS TO DELIVER VIBRATION OF INCREASED INTENSITY TO THE GROUND.
