Seismic Accelerometers

Do you ever have a difficult time explaining in layman's terms to your family or friends what an accelerometer does? GE Global Research performed an experiment: speaking towards a section of the Berlin Wall and converting the measured vibrations back to speech for those on the other side, using a PCB Piezotronics 393B05 sensor. A fantastic short video explains the test. Then, ex-Mythbuster Adam Savage rented another 393B05 to duplicate and explain the GE experiment in his own video.

 

Our Rental Program offers a variety of seismic sensors for low frequency and low amplitude testing. For projects as wide-ranging as train monitoring, MRI, Lasik and other medical equipment installations, fitness centers, building construction, bridge monitoring, and more - The Modal Shop rents every 393 Series seismic ICP® accelerometer, as well as MEMS units for true DC measurements .
