sonar boomer seismic system

A complete continuous seismic profiling system consists of the boomer unit, sonar recorder, transducer fish, receiving hydrophone, preamplifier, if necessary, and variable filter. Sonar boomer units are available from 1000 W-second models up to 13,000 Wsecond (experimental models). The standard boomer consists of a power supply, capacitor bank and transducer. Boomers are used for marine geological studies and dredging surveys. The power supply output is fed to the capacitor bank, which is discharged into the transducer producing a precisely repeatable pressure pulse in the water.
