Has anyone actually made one of these devices that the blue prints describe (besides Tesla)...?

Ive been looking on the internet but cant find any videos of anyone shaking anything...

A few very interesting videos that I did find -

Coupled Harmonic Oscillators shaking a bridge

people.seas.harvard.edu...

people.seas.harvard.edu...

You can see in the second video that the trees arent moving so its obviously not a storm...

These videos are from this site - people.seas.harvard.edu...



Also, doesnt look like the same kind of device but these guys were able to shake their house to some degree with regular oscillators -

The first two videos are of tacoma narrows bridge, which isn't a man made oscillation. The bridge design was faulty and would shake violently with turbulent weather conditions.

Thanks for the link. I saw that thread but didn't know it was related. I'll check it out.


Edit: Starred and flagged your thread too.

That was my immediate reaction to the show as well. While I think the twin towers theory here is bunk, there is still evidence for the oscillation in action. My first thought when they announced "busted" was, if you could get the bridge to shake in a few hours, what happens if you leave it over night? I've never seen them quit mid-experiment before, which leads me to believe they thought that at the least it might weaken the bridge in some way.

Quick post, this was posted on another Tesla thread and thought you'd like to see it. This is the same effect of resonance vibration, yet this was caused by a steady wind speed of 42 mph. The bridge lasted about 1 month.

thanks. EMM

Just noticed that this has already been posted, but this video is longer, showing more, so I will leave it on. The design of the bridge itself wasn't faulty, they had just never seen this effect before.

Thanks for posting this video.


Three things to note in the video.

The flexibility of the 8 foot girders.

"A collapse was inevitable after a little more than an hour of this."

The way it collapses. It just falls apart from fatique. The dust produced as it's collapsing is interesting also. One would think a collapsing bridge into water wouldn't cause much dust. Unless it is water spray that linguers in the air by the breeze? I can't tell.

We learned about the Tacoma Narrows bridge in college. The reason this bridge started to resonate was because of the solid girders used. Notice how at the end they say that the new one was constructed with trusses. This allows wind to flow through the trusses as oppossed to vibrating against a girder. Plus, trusses can be just as strong and cheaper (less mass).
