<p>A seismic energy source includes a base plate (77) having a first electromagnet (37) thereon. A reaction mass (74) has a second electromagnet (39) thereon. A switchable current source (43) is connected to the first and second electromagnets such that the first electromagnet (37) repels the second electromagnet (39). At least one damper (71) is functionally connected between the reaction mass (74) and the base plate (77). The damper (71) is configured to enable faster movement of the reaction mass (74) away from the base plate (77) than toward the base plate (77).</p> |
