How a 730-Ton Ball Kept the Second Tallest Building From Falling During the Chinese Earthquake

June 24, 2008

From gizmodo….

Gizmodo: The recent Sichuan Earthquake in China was so intense, tremors were felt all the way over in the tallest completed building in the world—the Taipei 101 building in Taiwan—a whole eight minutes after the quake originated. (The title of tallest building period was taken by the Burj Dubai back in May.) What’s interesting about the 101 is that it has a gigantic suspended tuned mass damper, or hanging ball, which takes up four stories and works like this to prevent the building from falling over and tragically crushing office workers. This 730 ton sphere looks intimidating when still, but wait until you see it in motion during the earthquake. More »

XC70 conquers NC beaches

June 22, 2008

Drove about 20 miles North of Corolla NC today in my XC70. Vehicle is ok for some beach travel but even with 20 pounds of air pressure I would say that it needs more spread for the heavy chassis. The vehicle is so heavy and if it wasn’t for the pace i was making on the sand it could have gotten stuck. Ironically I passed another XC70 buried and being pulled out by a tow truck.
