Resonance-Enabled Machines

Abstract

Provided herein are resonance-enabled machines, comprising one or more voice coil actuators mounted on a non-moving mass, such as a housing, one or more moving masses, and one or more pluralities of springs coupling the non-moving mass to the one or more moving masses. One or more of the moving masses can perform a specific task. For example, the moving mass may drive a pump as a vacuum pump or a compressor. The moving mass may drive a hammer chisel, for example, to break or fracture structures. The moving mass may drive a device to consolidate, for example, soil. The moving mass may impact a member to drive the member into another member, such as a pile into the soil. Each moving mass may be coupled to a voice coil actuator, and the machine is an electrical-mechanical-electrical transformer.
