1. A system comprising:
- a load subject to a restoring force upon displacement of said load from a rest position; and
an actuator containing an eccentric mass, said actuator designed to rotate said eccentric mass about a first axis,responsive to the rotation of said eccentric mass, the actuator causing said load to oscillate in the direction of each of a second axis and a third axis, wherein said first axis, said second axis and said third axis are all orthogonal to each other.

Abstract
A generic system for enabling resonant oscillations along multiple axes includes a load and an actuator. The load represents a mass or structure that is desired to be oscillated, and is subject to a restoring force by suitable mechanisms upon displacement of the load. The actuator is designed to rotate an eccentric mass about a first axis. Responsive to the rotation of the eccentric mass, the actuator is designed to cause the load to oscillate in the direction of each of a second axis and a third axis.
