    Vertical Vibrations
AI Thread Summary
Devices that generate vertical vibrations with variable amplitude and frequency can be challenging to find. Pneumatic systems using pressurized inner tubes are a cost-effective option, though they may introduce compression artifacts in the waveform. A counter-rotating eccentric mass exciter is recommended as a simple and effective solution for achieving the desired vibrations. This device is easy to construct and operate, making it suitable for vibrating containers filled with sand. Overall, these suggestions provide practical approaches to generating the required vertical vibrations.

Homework Statement



anyone have any suggestions for devices which generate vertical vibrations, preferably of variable amplitude (say, up to a cm or so) and of variable frequency (around 10hz) which can be used to vibrate a container full of, say, sand?

This could be tough depending on how much sand you are quaking. May I suggest using pneumatics to pressurize something like innertubes? The problem is that the waveform would be full of compression/ pressurization artifacts, the advantage is that its pretty cheap.
 
My sugestion: a counter rotating eccentric mass exciter. It is very easy to build and operate, and it will do the job as you want.
 
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
