I'm absolutely sure it would work. Making it last might require a bass shaker specifically designed for the loads placed on it.
This EM shock absorber is basically the same concept as what you're describing, except that the bass shaker idea would intentionally add mass to an existing system. The EM shock absorber would be much more efficient, for sure, but the bass shaker experiment would be cool to try out!
