A photograph of Taipei 101, a skyscraper in Taipei, Taiwan.
Taipei 101 was the world’s tallest building from 2004 until 2010. Between floors 87 and 92 is a 660 ton steel pendulum. The pendulum serves as a tuned mass damper; it sways to offset movement of the building by strong gusts of winds. (Courtesy of Jirka Matousek on flickr. CC-BY.)
