The Lightning P- and S-wave electric source
Fully Electric
The Lightning is fully electric. Two 50 ah lithium ion batteries are used to keep the system running all day long. It is also possible to power the source by a generator or connect it to the grid.
Synchronization of multiple sources
Multiple Lightning sources can be synchronized in both p- and s-wave mode to create an array of sources and increase force.
High productivity shooting
Connecting the Lightning seismic source and tow hitch lift to a carrier makes it very productive. Moreover, the system can be mounted on any type of vehicle, 4x4, buggy etc.
Low environmental footprint
No fluids and high pressures. Just fully electric seismic sources in a compact design and low noise (dB).
Our Lightning electric source
rugged and reliable electric seismic sources with a minimal environmental footprint for seismic acquisition

Frequently asked questions
Yes, you can both rent or purchase the Lightning.
We develop our own vibrator control software, called flexsweep. With flexsweep you can easily adjust the parameters of your sweep e.g. frequency range, force, taper and type of sweep. You can even upload your own designed sweep.
The Lightning contains accelerometers on the baseplate and reaction mass. This is to estimate ground force measuring accelerations on base plate and reaction mass for weighted sum ground force control.
