The Narrows Tacoma Bridge Disaster of 1940

Bridge Disaster , caused by wind blowing onto the bridge and due to
natural resonance frequency of the bridge , it swayed until it breaks and collapse.
An engineering problem , which i believe still very relevant today.


and a inventor , from that engineering problem. came up with a smart idea.

The windbelt, which is a wind base power generator. with almost no mechanical parts.


Will give it a try soon.

Thanks
Have a nice day.
