Systems, Methods, and Apparatuses For a Vibratory Source

A vibration source described herein may utilize spinning weights to create vibrations in one or more controlled directions. By placing the two rotating masses in a position along the axis of the tool and counter-rotating the masses, it is possible to cancel the rotational output of the individual spinning eccentric masses and yield a uni-directional linear vibration. The rotation of the masses may also be controlled by a processor to change the direction of the vibration in real-time. Thus, the vibration source may be utilized in geologic interrogation or communications.
