Abstract

See full text

An efficiency-enhanced resonant system is provided with a backing mass connected to a linear vibrator, a parasitic mass connected to the linear vibrator, a positioning spring, a connecting device, and external biasing springs. The linear vibrator provides vibrating force to the parasitic mass which is connected to the connecting device, grasping a working implement. The use of separate positioning spring and external biasing springs accommodates a tuned system that balances the reduction in backing mass movement, avoids backing mass resonance within the working range of frequencies, and maintains a minimized linear vibrator stroke within the optimal range for one-dimensional implements within desired frequency ranges. The linear vibrator provides vibration that manifests as a frequency range of the natural frequency of the combined assembly of the parasitic mass, positioning spring, external biasing springs, connecting device, and implement, so that the resonant system efficiently performs work with minimized wasted energy.
