Resonator, resonator array, vibration control system and method

A method of manufacturing a vibration control system, the method comprising:

• providing a resonator, the resonator including
• a base attachable to an external body,
• a control element, and
• one or more connection elements each having a resilient portion,
• wherein the control element is resiliently connected to the base by the one or more connection elements such that relative movement between the control element and the base is facilitated by the one or more connection elements;
• and
• providing a driving mechanism, wherein the resonator comprises at least a part of the driving mechanism.

A vibration control system comprising:

• a resonator including
• a base attachable to an external body,
• a control element, and
• a plurality of connection elements each having
• a resilient portion, and
• a support on which the resilient portion is mounted, the support connected to the base,
• wherein the control element is resiliently connected to the base by the connection elements such that relative movement between the control element and the base is facilitated by the connection elements;
• and
• a driving mechanism, wherein the resonator comprises at least a part of the driving mechanism.
