RIVER SEISMIC EXPLORATION SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G01V1/38 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: disclosed is a river seismic exploration system having a river floating craft made in form of an assembly of rigidly joined river barge and a push-type river cruiser. The front part the hold of the barge, which moves on the ship-way, is fitted with a source of seismic vibrations with impact-mechanical action on the ground, having a mortar launcher, a heavy plunger, a tray with an impact plate, a system of mechanisms for raising and lowering the source. For flexible joining of the source with the bottom of the vehicle, a hatch is made at the bottom, which accommodates the tray with the impact plate which always lies on the outer side of the bottom. The bottom of the barge, in the front part in the region where the source is located, is in form of a ski, and the floating craft is fitted with two branches of rope-winch mechanisms for tying the floating craft to the river bank.

EFFECT: high quality of the seismic signal.
