Crazy Idea: Degassing wine using vibration plate (self.homebrewing)

While manually degassing my current 23l bucket of wine, my mind drifted off into dream land of how to save my arms and back in future times. I came to think of those vibration plates for supposed exercise benefit.

Googling it seems people have considered them for making beer but in order to stimulate the yeast or something something carbonation magic - quite the opposite of my idea.

Whaddya think? Could it work for degassing buckets of wine?

I've seen people degas wine in a glass carboy using VacuVin style pumps before so I'm sure you could Jerry-rig something up for a bucket. See here for an example of what I'm talking about.
