SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on generating vertical vibrations for vibrating containers filled with sand. The recommended solutions include using pneumatic systems to pressurize inner tubes and employing a counter-rotating eccentric mass exciter. The latter is highlighted as an easy-to-build and effective method for achieving variable amplitude and frequency vibrations, specifically around 10 Hz. The conversation emphasizes the importance of minimizing compression artifacts in the waveform when using pneumatic devices.
