The Synchro eVibe is a 2500N electric seismic source for zero carbon seismic acquisition up to depths of 2000mtrs. The Synchro eVibe allows for full force to be applied from a very low frequency, ie full force from time = 0. Low frequencies (0.5Hz) and high force being applied through the entire sweep enable us to collect excellent data through the entire depth range, starting from near surface to deeper targets.

Yes, all our sources are battery powered. Still, all sources can be powered by generator or grid power.
The eVibes use direct drive motors. Therefore, a “frictionless” movement is created to generate acoustic signals. In other words, no energy is lost when creating the acoustic signals.
A hydraulic valve/piston is designed around friction since its pumping oil from one chamber of the piston to the other under high pressures. This created viscous losses, wear and tear and is temperature dependent. Therefore, a lot of energy is wasted and high levels of harmonic distorion are created. This needs to be compensated with a lot of force.
The eVibes use direct drive motors. Therefore, a “frictionless” movement is created to generate acoustic signals. As a result, the internal harmonic distortion is very low ca. 3%.
We can use locally available carriers. Generally, we use (electric) ATV’s/mules for the Ligthning eVibe. And small (electric) telehandlers/zoomboom for the Synchro and Storm eVibe
