摘要 |
The invention concerns a probe for generating seismic waves, comprising at least: - a tubular body (10) having a first end linked to an electrical power cable, - a capacitor bank, arranged inside the body (10), - a spark gap, installed at a second end of the body and linked to the capacitor bank, suitable for generating a seismic wave when the energy accumulated by the capacitor bank is released, characterised in that: the capacitor bank is formed from cylindrical capacitors (621) comprising bases each having a different polarity, the capacitors (621) are mounted coaxial to each other parallel to the main axis of the body, and the capacitors (621) are electrically linked into at least two groups of capacitors connected in parallel, each group of capacitors having a positive pole and a negative pole, said groups being arranged in the body (10) such that the facing poles of two adjacent groups are of the same polarity. |
