Vibration apparatus and methods of vibration

A method of extracting media from an elastomeric tooling with media, the media being added to provide rigidity during processing, comprising;

• inserting a vacuum into the tooling;
• removing media from the tooling using the vacuum;
• and
• vibrating the tooling during removing media to dislodge the media in the tooling,
• wherein vibrating further comprises:
• generating a first current flow in a first conductor located in the tooling thereby creating a first magnetic field around the first conductor;
• and breaking at least one clump of solid media in the tooling into smaller pieces of solid media to aid dislodgment of the media by producing a vibration in the tooling by generating a second current flow opposite the first current flow in a second conductor located in the tooling and being in proximity to the first conductor thereby creating a second magnetic field around the second conductor;
• wherein the first and second magnetic fields force the first and second conductors apart thereby producing the vibration in the tooling.

A system for extracting media from an elastomeric tooling with media, the media being added to provide rigidity during processing, the system comprising;

• an elastomeric tooling for forming a structure, the tooling including a cavity capable of being filled with a solid media in order to provide rigidity to the tooling during processing:
• an inserting component configured to insert a vacuum into the tooling;
• a removing component configured to remove media from the tooling using the vacuum;
• and
• a vibrating component configured to vibrate the tooling while removing media to dislodge the media in the tooling, wherein the vibrating component further comprises:
• a first generating component configured to generate a first current flow in a first conductor located in the tooling thereby creating a first magnetic field around the first conductor;
• and
• a vibration component configured to produce a vibration in the tooling sufficient to break apart at least one clump of solid media in the cavity into smaller pieces of solid media to aid dislodgment of the media, the vibration component comprising a second generating component configured to generate a second current flow opposite the first current flow in a second conductor located in the tooling and being in proximity to the first conductor thereby creating a second magnetic field around the second conductor;
• wherein the first and second magnetic fields force the first and second conductors apart thereby producing the vibration in the tooling.
