8 points on the Richter scale – nothing dangerous. So consider Novosibirsk scientists who patented a new method of protection buildings from destruction during earthquakes and explosions. On the test site with the authors of the development went Vesti correspondents. 
Photo from open sources “We tamed negative stiffness, companion of instability, “the authors say of their invention. They have successfully applied this principle to development. vibration protection chairs. Now scientists have swung to a new scale – figured out how to use this method to protect buildings from destruction during earthquakes and explosions. Igor Nikiforov, Head of the Research Laboratory “Technologies security “SibGUTI, said:” The strength of our method is that 99% of the impact does not reach the object. ” confirmed by field test results. From his vibrations insure pair-connected console cables. With a blast in mine this structure will be hit by an earthquake of 6-8 points. Each test at the test site of a pilot plant measuring instruments are fixed by special cameras that take pictures from with a frequency of 210 frames per second and pick up the slightest fluctuations. At Reproduction is clearly visible – the unprotected part of the structure from the shock begins to literally jump, protected – remains motionless. Andrey Nikiforov, Leading Specialist of the Laboratory for Dynamic and seismic influences, noted: “In any case, ourselves dynamic effects are smoothed over time and smoothed over power. And part of the seismic impacts at this time are stored in the system itself and in the future they are scattered due to forces interactions. “Preliminary calculations showed that technology does not require large expenses during construction. It can be applied and for the reconstruction of existing frame buildings. Soon Ministry of Emergency Situations and representatives of five regions will acquaint time with the invention Siberia, where there are earthquake zones. For starters, scientists suggest protect strategic objects. For example, power plants and hospitals in potential foci of earthquakes.
