The possibility of creation of rotary-type source of seismic transverse waves with electromagnetic excitation

Use of transverse waves in exploration seismology provides some additional information needed to improve prediction of hydrocarbon deposits. Traditional sources of transverse waves have a number of disadvantages associated with bad reproducibility of influence, and the predominant excitation of longitudinal waves. In this work a variant of a rotary-type source of transverse waves with electromagnetic excitation which free from these disadvantages has been considered. Assessment of the required design parameters of this source and comparison the characteristics of the developed source in comparison with other similar devices are presented.
