Also - given the large motion of the damper in today's earthquake, why weren't more people freaking out? I'm also curious about how much the dampers (shock absorbers) heated up from restraining the movement of the ball.
- ezconnect 4y agoPeople are not freaking out because the damper is doing its job of limiting the movement of the building. They never felt the actual force of the earthquake.
- samstave 4y agoThis engineering idea/concept/design is WAY older than "westworld" Look at japanese engineering that implemented the same concept for their castles... WAY THE HECK earlier...

- saryant 4y agoI was on the ground floor of a modern building in Tokyo when Fukushima happened and barely felt a thing. These systems are remarkably effective.
- Beldin 4y agoI would not expect this system to have any effect on shaking at ground floor level - it's meant to counteract sway, which at ground floor should be zero.
