Low carbon acquisition
Electric drive removes on-site fuel use and cuts emissions to a minimum.
Battery powered
Battery-compatible power supply for clean, quiet, autonomous field operations.
Safe and robust
No hydraulics — fewer hazards, lower maintenance, dependable in the field.
High quality signals
Direct-drive electromagnetic actuators produce highly repeatable, broadband sweeps.
Mid-class electric source
More energy. Same compact footprint.
The Synchro eVibe is a compact electric seismic source designed for projects that require greater source energy while keeping operational flexibility. Positioned between the Lightning and Storm systems within the eVibe platform, it delivers increased output force while retaining the mobility and low environmental impact of compact electric vibroseis technology.
Compared with the Lightning eVibe, the Synchro provides increased source energy — enabling seismic imaging down to approximately 1–2 kilometres depending on geological conditions and survey design.
As part of Faraday's eVibe platform, the Synchro uses direct-drive electric actuators to generate highly repeatable seismic sweeps with a significantly smaller operational footprint than conventional sources. It deploys quickly, runs with small crews, and mounts on a variety of carriers — ideal for remote terrain, environmentally sensitive areas, and constrained access.
Engineered for the field
Designed for Efficient Field Acquisition
The Synchro eVibe is built around the idea that modern seismic surveys require flexibility and operational efficiency. Its compact size allows the source to be transported easily and deployed rapidly in the field.
Because it is electrically driven and does not rely on hydraulics, operations are quiet, clean, and highly controllable — allowing surveys in areas where conventional seismic trucks would not be permitted.
Typical acquisition workflows
- High-density nodal seismic surveys
- Rapid mineral exploration programs
- Engineering and infrastructure investigations
- Scientific and environmental studies
Flexible Deployment
The Synchro eVibe can be mounted on a variety of carriers such as small vehicles, tractors, or utility platforms. This allows operators to adapt the system to different terrains and project requirements.
- Rapid mobilisation
- Efficient acquisition in remote terrain
- Minimal ground disturbance
- Easy integration with nodal receiver systems
