1. A system for imparting a mechanical impulse to the earth comprising:

  • an anvil for operative deployment against the earth;

    a hammer operatively connected to the anvil for striking the anvil;

    a control system operatively connected to the hammer for controlling the impulse energy of the hammer striking the anvil, the control system including a linear feedback system for measuring the linear position of the hammer with respect to the anvil during a force stroke, a processor for receiving linear position data from the linear feedback system and for controlling the relative speed of the hammer with respect to the anvil during a force stroke through an actuation system.
