But if you get the vibrational modes just right...<br>

How hard would it be to make a device the was able to unscrew<br>
a screw with sonic vibrations in real life? I'm thinking the<br>
type of vibrations the loosen bolts in vehicles when they've<br>
been driven on rough roads for long periods of time?<br>

<br>
Bah, I always forget to hit "reply all".<br>
<br>
But thats not really something you can make happen. Bolts that loosen do<br>
it over generally very long periods of time with generally lots of<br>
vibration and actually lots of high forces.<br>
