1. An apparatus comprising:
a magnet assembly comprising a round magnet, a magnet frame, a pole, and where the magnet is attached to the magnet frame and is axially aligned with the pole, and where the pole is attached to the magnet frame;
a force coil assembly comprising a force coil and a force coil tube, where the force coil is a wire wrapped around and axially aligned with the force coil tube, and where the force coil assembly fits over and is axially aligned with both the pole and the magnet;
a frame;
a spider which is attached to the frame, attached and axially aligned with the force coil assembly;
a cone assembly comprising a flexible surround and a cone where the flexible surround is attached to the frame and to the cone;
an adapter ring that is affixed to the cone and to the force coil tube, and where the adapter ring has an outer portion and an inner portion and where the inner portion has a threaded portion;
a container comprising a top, a body section, and where the body section has an open top, a side and bottom, where the bottom has an outside which has a threaded part with such threaded part designed to engage the corresponding threaded part of the inner portion of the adapter ring and thereby securely attaching the container to the adapter ring;
where the materials to be mixed are adding through the open top of the container;
a touch screen which allows an operator to operate and run the apparatus;
an electrical source that generates a variable frequency constant amplitude alternating voltage that charges the force coil causing the same to oscillate;
an internal computer which runs the apparatus;
a Hall element which is placed in electronic series with the force coil, and where the Hall element outputs a voltage that is proportional to the current running through the Hall element, and where the internal computer automatically adjusts and lowers the frequency of the electrical source from a higher frequency to a lower frequency and to a point where the voltage output of the Hall element is at its minimum at which point mechanical resonance is achieved and where the internal computer maintains the mechanical resonance of the materials in the container;
an enclosure;
and a cover comprising a top, four sides, with a front side and back side, an open bottom, and an attachment portion designed to attach the cover to the enclosure.
