Hi there! For my Design and Technology year 12 major work, I need to create a vibration blanket to help reduce the risks of Deep Vein Thrombosis. According to my research, the finished product has to be between 10 and 30 hz, connected to a remote that turns it on and off in 15 minute cycles. I was looking at the vibration motors on the website, and was just wondering what would be best for doing what I needed to do, or any advice you might have. I was planning on possibly encasing the vibration motor in a silicone pad to sew up into a quilt square (so that I could space the vibration levels evenly throughout the entire quilt square). I was also contemplating possibly putting heating elements intermittently throughout the quilt as well, which also work on a 15 minute cycle. Please let me know any opinions/advice/or help choosing the correct materials, because I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much!

Hi there, @Charlie306848, and welcome to the forum, glad to have you here.

I can say that this one probably is an especially good motor for your project as it needs to be shut off every ten minutes to prevent overheating.

It might help to know a couple more details of your project before I can give more than very general advice.

For instance:

  • How big are you expecting the blanket to be?
  • What density of vibration motors would you like? Are you thinking of having every 5 square centimeter with a motor or having them spread out more diffusely through the quilt?
  • Are you imaging this as something that someone has on them all night? Or just something that they sit on their lap for however long it would be used for?

Hi! Though I haven’t worked out the full plan yet (I am still in the planning stage), I was planning on making the blanket 127 x 152 cm (which is a typical throw blanket size), and the vibration motors spaced out enough to make sure that it is even throughout the entire blanket in order to allow for proper effectiveness no matter the position of the blanket. It was going to be made in probably 17cm squared quilt squares, so it will probably have a 17cm gap between each motor (unless you recommend otherwise). And no, I believe that it will be a product that will be used when the person is awake, so it will just sit on their lap for however long it is used for. Saying that, however, I still (hopefully) want all the vibration motors connected to a single source/remote to turn it on and off easily for the user, and preferably have them on a cycle so that they turn on and off every so often. Hope this makes sense!
