For the first time, we can have elastomers that are high elasticity or high dampening.

这是第，们可以制作高弹性或高阻尼系数的弹性体。

Finally, there's the technique so good it's invisible: damping.

最后，还有种好到让人看不见的技术: 阻尼。

Dampers are mechanisms designed to absorb the energy from a building's movement, counteracting the effect of the wind.

阻尼器是种设计用来吸收建筑物运动产生的能量，抵消风的影响的装置。

See never adequately explained what this resisting medium was supposed to be possibly tiny particles of matter.

托马斯·希从来没有充分解释假设的阻尼介质是不是细的物质粒子。

This alone wasn't enough to topple the tower thanks to the mass damper.

多亏了质量阻尼器，仅此项还不足以推倒塔。

This typical Kelly shock absorber includes hydraulic dampers, springs, and protection for the equipment.

这种典型的凯利减震器包括液压阻尼器、弹簧和设备保护装置。

These are stockbridge dampers that help suppress wind-induced vibration on long cables and signs.

这些是桥式阻尼器，有助于抑制长电缆和标志上的风致振动。

But LeMessurier had another state-of-the-art solution— a tuned mass damper.

但 LeMessurier 有另种最先进的解决方案——调谐质量阻尼器。

Beyond 2025, however, another dampener looms.

然而，在 2025 年之后，另个阻尼器出现了。

His idea was that there is something that he called the resisting medium in outer space, which we know is not there now.

他提出在外太空存在他称之为阻尼介质的东西，其实们现在知道那并不存在。

In addition to the techniques that tall buildings use to tame the wind, some are also fitted with dampers that counteract motion where it occurs.

除了上述这种“驯服”风的技术外，些高楼还安装了阻尼器，在建筑物发生运动时抵消运动。

If bubbles of sodium vapour formed in the coolant, that damping effect would diminish, risking a dangerous feedback loop of rising temperatures and growing power output.

如果在冷却剂中形成钠蒸汽的气泡，这种阻尼效应将会减弱，冒着温度上升和功率输出增加的危险反馈回路的风险。

Take a look at the very first Practical Engineering video about Tuned Mass Dampers to learn about how wind-induced motion can be mitigated in skyscrapers.

观看有关调谐质量阻尼器的第个实用工程视频，了解如何减轻摩天大楼中的风引起的运动。

Across all three sites, when it came to  lowering the caissons, hydraulic dampers in each corner helped to absorb the force of  these massive structures hitting the seabed.

在所有三个地点，当需要降低沉箱时，每个角落的液压阻尼器都有助于吸收这些巨大结构撞击海床的力量。

The effects of vortices can be mitigated through using a tuned mass damper (a device to reduce vibrations) to lessen the movement, as well as designing the structure to disrupt the wind flow.

漩涡的影响可以通过使用调谐质量阻尼器（种减少振动的装置）减少运动来缓解，或者通过设计结构破坏风的流动来减轻。

On the other hand the notion that Earth gravity could capture and retain such a large object was unlikely, since there is no obvious resisting medium to slows down an object as big as the Moon.

另方面所谓的地球引力捕获和保留如此大的物体是不可能的，这是因为显然没有阻尼介质把月球这么大的物体的速度降下来。

Sales of breeze blocks, and also of bricks for sound barriers to dampen traffic noise (an application based on the belief that the hydrogel will dissipate sound better than conventional concrete) should start early next year.

微风块的销售，以及用于阻尼交通噪音的声屏障砖（种基于水凝胶比传统混凝土消散声音更好的信念的应用）将于明年初开始销售。
