ABSTRACT:
A mobile generator for producing waves for seismic exploration. An elongated boom guides a wave-generating hammer along a linear path of motion to strike an anvil embedded in the ground, the boom being movable between several adjusted positions including a vertical position for generating a P wave, an inclined position for generating a shear wave, and a horizontal position for transport. An improved anvil for generating either a P wave or a shear wave is also disclosed.
