World Guide – Tuned Mass Damper of the Shanghai Tower
Feb 18, 2015 · This is where the ‘tuned mass’ damper system of the 2,073-foot Shanghai Tower comes into play. The physics of the damper work exactly as normal — a 1,000 ton weight hangs from steel cables. But two systems prevent the weight from moving too far or two fast: hydraulic rams, and a ‘tunable’, self-generated magnetic field.
