Claim:
A turbine vibrator including: a housing having a first end and a second end, a generally cylindrical internal surface forming a central chamber, and an inlet port in fluid communication with said central chamber; a turbine wheel located within said central chamber of said housing, said turbine wheel including a central axis, a shaft having a first end and a second end, said shaft being rotatably connected to said housing for rotation about said central axis, a generally cylindrical wall extending generally concentrically around said central axis and around said shaft, said cylindrical wall forming an internal chamber, said cylindrical wall attached to said shaft for conjoint rotation, an eccentric weight located within said internal chamber and partially filling said internal chamber, and a plurality of teeth extending outwardly away from said cylindrical wall, said teeth being formed from an elastomeric material; whereby compressed gas is adapted to enter said central chamber of said housing through said inlet port, the gas causing said turbine wheel to rotate about said central axis with respect to said housing.
