I can't remember what frequency that is, sadly. 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 LOL... Tragically that reminds me of a guy I knew at school called Tom, who wanted to call his band "33Hz Clitoral Resonance FX" He was over-ruled! ;D

So once you've got this data what's it used for? Surely it's cheaper to buy a kango or a sledge hammer? Not really - a sledgehammer can't test a product at 8, 9 and 10G in succession, exactly 0.75s apart, for instance! The point of the machine is it provides precision testing and precision results - it can be controlled to 1Hz, to 0.01G, and can have the rate of vibration ramped up or down as we please. We can gain data from it in a variety of forms, and use it for whatever purpose we need. At present, I'm searching for the phase shifts in our components, so that we can work out which frequencies may cause errors in electrical meters and strengthen the relevant components accordingly. The output in this case comes on a graph; analysing it tells us that - using the graph in front of me right now - the meter's first phase shift occurs at 648Hz. I can now run further tests to find out which component is suffering from that shift, and accordingly judge whether it affects the meter and so needs to be improved or not. Alternatively, I can just ramp it up to 20G's and see if the component explodes or not ;D
