As we all know, I get to plays with Toys of Much Destruction at work, the latest of which is the vibration/impact testing machine.
Having played with the beastie somewhat, I've found that even a basic test can make the unsuspecting individual worry a lot. Starts off as a low, barely-audible hum, and winds up through an increasingly loud and increasingly high-pitched scale, to the point where it honestly sounds like it's on the verge of exploding - and that's only halfway through the test (I don't mind admitting I panicked the first time, thinking I was about to blow up £25k worth of brand-new equipment!)
I have just discovered that It Gets Better. This machine can do White Noise.
Long story short, that means I can do a test that's comparable to an aircraft taking off - both in volume and the sound itself. And that's only the beginning of the test - remember what I said about it getting better as it went on?
I thus have, in my power, the ability to make the entire factory shit themselves.
Do I do it? ;D

The other thing I should probably mention is that I still haven't actually been taught how to use the machine yet; it's moreso just clicking around and experimenting at the moment...

Also how willing are you to shit yourself for the greater good? Or is it just that they'll mess themselves with fear, not that it rumbles at the right frequency to dislodge their bowel control?!

Ah - no, it's with fear ;D Though admittedly, I'll have to investigate and see if 'brown noise' is achievable too... I'll merely have to stand on something that'll absorb the vibrations, such as a comfy chair! ;D

What is the machine's purpose? It's used to test products and investigate multiple facets relating to vibration. Do they fall apart at this frequency, what are their phase shift frequencies, can they withstand a 10G impact and so forth.

I think you should say to one of you buddies,
"hey mate, feel this, it feels really warm for some reason"
Then unleash the machine on him. ;D

During my amateur studies of BASS I gathered that it is possible to attune bass frequencies to the natural frequency of ones bowels, hence confusion! ;D

I do know that at 8Hz, you have a horrible effect on the human ribcage (nausea, trouble breathing, intense pains, disorientation etc), but this machine sadly only goes as low as 10

So once you've got this data what's it used for? Surely it's cheaper to buy a kango or a sledge hammer?
