Earthquake: a tall tower and base isolation
A crank mechanism shakes the platform. A narrow tower falls, a wide house stands, and the same tower on soft springs and dampers survives the shaking.

Physics experiments
Interactive experiments for kids, students and teachers. Run each one right on the page, then open a copy in the Tymora editor and change mass, friction, elasticity or gravity. Every experiment comes with discussion questions and a version to try at home.
