There are so many vibrato techniques... each suitable for different purposes.
Try to think of your guitar as a part of you, rather than some device strapped to you like a parachute. When you see a few of the actual MASTERS of vibrato, something becomes apparent... the whole guitar neck, on the big and epic notes, moves up down rythymically. This is a result of using the actual weight of the guitar as a counterweight to the pressure appled with the hand. Watch hendrix, Trower, or Gilmore (when he isnt using his short modified trem bar) and u will see what I mean.. Think of it as carressing a woman... which brings a sound which delights. You DO need to be able also to JUST use your hand and wrist, as the guy before mentioned... and develope the stregnth to do it. But this other one is different... when u hear it, u wanna do it, believe me.

. You have to have a good right arm to do a long and fast tremolos. Remember to use your whole arm, not just the wrist and don't make unnessecary movements with your pick - just enough to pluck the string. And always remeber - start slowly and when you feel comfortable with the speed go faster.
