Cool video. I love the practical attempts at demos. Even if they don’t always work 100% it’s so much better than talking plus some semi relevant animations

Grady loves his models.

The non liquid active tuned damper in Tapei 101 is a delight. Sprayed gold like a funky futurist nugget, set amongst massive hydraulic actuators.
I'm not sure you could make a liquid tuned damper be a tourist attraction.

I don't recall him mentioning how the viscosity of the fluid changes it's effectiveness, but I imagine it would. For reduced maintenance costs (prevent algae growth) they probably use mineral oil, not blue water.

Surely some biocide or glycol or whatever is going to be a lot cheaper than using mineral oil? This is solidly north of a hundred thousand gallons after all, right? Especially since they're already going to have plumbed water in the building anyway, so they wouldn't need to transport drums and drums of whatever liquid is chosen if it's not water?
