FSI Announces new LF Bubble Gun

By Marine Technology Reporter

Falmouth Scientific, Inc. presented the HMS-620LF Low Frequency Bubble Gun Seismic System at OI ’14. FSI’s Bubble Gun Systems are suited for small boat shallow water geophysical surveys. Bubble Gun systems use a contained air volume to generate narrow band, low frequency acoustic signals. The data collected with HMS-620 systems rivals that of much larger, heavier, and more expensive air-gun, boomer and sparker systems without the need for large power sources or air compressors. This technology provides superior signal penetration through coarse sand, gravel tills and other difficult to penetrate sediments.
