What is the point of making a machine that produces vibration in order to move, or fly (not that the latter would work)?

If there is also a requirement for friction to transmit the drive, (or a ratchet as I already mentioned), we simply could use very smooth wheels, instead.

In any event, why make a machine deliberately vibrate more than it does already for other reasons? We already have helicopters for that purpose.
