Abstract
An apparatus designed to mix powders or fluids, or both, with the least amount of effort and energy. The mixing is accomplished with an assembly similar to an audio speaker connected to a container. The apparatus is charged with an electrical source which causes it to agitate the container so that its contents are mixed. Through a variety of different methods, the apparatus is caused to go into mechanical resonance thereby maximizing its agitation and thus its mixing efforts. An internal computer is used to monitor, maintain, and help place the apparatus in mechanical resonance. There is an option to add a cover to the apparatus which acts as both a sound reduction mechanism and a safety mechanism ensuring that anything that might become loose from the container will not come in contact with the operator.
