We are already doing that. Most of these very tall structures have mass dampers, huge weights which are manipulated to compensate the swing induced by wind or ground movements.
- trollerator23 4y agoThat's 1-not active, 2-doesn't compensate, but dampens
- WastingMyTime89 4y agoTuned mass dampers don’t but active mass dampers do. Both are in use. Also damping is achieved by dissipating energy through the counter mouvement of the tuned mass which is literally compensating for the movement put in place by the external force. It doesn’t totally offset it but still.
