Trivibombs

Trivibombs are a type of novelty item, often small and handheld, designed to produce a surprising sensory experience. The core mechanism of a trivibomb typically involves a rapid, localized vibration. This vibration is usually activated by a simple trigger, such as a button or a squeeze, and is powered by a small motor and battery. The effect is generally short-lived, lasting only for the duration of the activation.

These items are commonly marketed as gag gifts, party favors, or as a way to elicit a mild startle or tickle response. They are not designed for any practical purpose and their primary function is amusement. The intensity and duration of the vibration can vary significantly between different trivibomb designs and manufacturers. Some trivibombs may also incorporate other elements, such as flashing lights or a mild buzzing sound, to enhance the overall effect. Due to their simple construction and intended use, trivibombs are generally considered harmless.
