Thanks to Cronista US for the Headline.
An exciting development has been patented in the US,by a United Emirates University to help prevent damage to buildings hit by earthquakes
The purely mechanical method relies on giant spherical steel balls contained in a cage which can move with physical stress caused by the seismic movement and absorb the stress and thus protect the building.
The beauty of not needing a power source makes the design suitable for regions where power outings are common and where power supplies are likely to be taken out by a catastrophic event such as an earthquake.
