METHOD OF EMITTING TRANSVERSE SEISMIC WAVES Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G01V1/02 G01V1/53 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: non-explosive sources of seismic waves are placed on two pivotally connected platforms. The inclination angle of the platforms relative to each other is set depending on natural or artificial relief non-uniformities in the range of ±45° or, when one of the platforms if fixed horizontal to the earth's surface, the inclination angle of the second platform is varied in the range of ±90°, thereby achieving tight adjoining of the platforms to a selected area on the earth's surface, and the non-explosive sources for exciting seismic wave are turned on with a given interval. The value of the inclination angle of the platforms given based on the condition of the location and the location of the platforms, determined using a GLONASS (GPS) navigation system, are transmitted to receiving stations.

EFFECT: high efficiency of emitting transverse seismic waves.
