NASA Technology Stabilizes Rockets and Buildings

From the creator

A NASA technology originally designed to stabilize rockets could now help buildings survive earthquake damage. The patented technology, called fluid structure coupling, uses simple physics to dampen potentially harmful shaking in structures. NASA engineers designed the device to fit inside a rocket engine's liquid fuel tank to calm the effects of intense vibrations launch vehicles experience during liftoff.
