This project aims at finding a device for finding out the strength of mechanical vibration including earthquakes by transferring the mechanical waves into sound waves that are translated into electric energy by a sensitive microphone using the Blue tooth technique those vibrations will be recorded by using a computer program that can form the earth vibrations on the screen of the computer besides saving the data for so long. In addition to that, some simple techniques were used for designing that device including the sensitive microphone. A laptop computer, plastic slides and springs. the device was examined with many variables such as the depth of the device in the ground, the mass of the fallen body and the vertical distance of falling, then it was found through the result of the experiment the success of the device in providing exact and fixed readings which makes it certain to use that device in finding out mechanical vibrations and measuring them.
