ABSTRACT:
A seismic wave generator constructed of fungible high density elements contained within a flexible envelope is dropped to impact upon the ground and generate seismic waves for seismic investigations. The non-rigid construction minimizes or eliminates bounce or reverberation after impact. Because of the lack of bounce and reverberation, recordings of the seismic waves produced are relatively free of superimposed wave forms otherwise resulting from multiple impacts.
