This new ESS100 seismic source uses an entirely new mechanical design to create more energy from a simple light weight mechanism. The energy in a moving weight is proportional to its' mass and the square of its' velocity. If you double the velocity you get four times more energy with no increase in the weight of the mechanism. The result is high energy in a lighter, compact, all electrically operated device. There is no gas engine, no hydraulics or hoses, nothing to spill or leak.
Mechanical operation is nearly silent until the hammer fires.
Cycling is completely automatic, touch the fire button and the system fires and readies itself for the next shot automatically. Hold the fire button down and the source fires itself every ten seconds for as long as you hold the button down. The source can operate continuously for hours because it is powered by a strong , sealed, continuous duty industrial motor and transmission.
