A new simulation video from Herrenknecht AG shows off its Urban Vibro Trucks. The machines can deploy thumping devices from their mid-sections that send seismic waves beneath city landscapes to explore the terrain for geothermal development.Continue Re… Continue reading Urban Vibro Trucks will thump city streets for geothermal options
A friend of ours once described computers as “high-speed idiots.” It was true in the 80s, and it appears that even with the recent explosion in AI, all computers have …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: March 17, 2024
Taylor Swift fans have been linked to some well-reported seismic activity during her current worldwide ‘Eras’ concert tour. With none other than the Seismological Society of America, which has been researching earthquakes since the Great San Francisco … Continue reading Rockin’ on the Richter scale: Seismologists rank the top concert-quakes
If you want to know what’s going on with the ground, geologically speaking, a geophone is a great tool to have. It lets you listen in on the rumbles and …read more Continue reading DIY Geophone Build Performs Well
In the vast realm of space exploration, new discoveries often emerge from old data. Thanks to advanced algorithms and keen observers, the seismic activities of our closest celestial neighbor, the …read more Continue reading Scientists Call Out Apollo 17 After Investigating Moonquakes Past
A couple of weeks ago, we noted with interest that the space shuttle Endeavour (OV85) would be set up as a full-stack launch configuration display, complete with external fuel tank …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: July 30, 2023
The Earth’s inner core is incredibly tricky to study, since it’s buried beneath thousands of miles of rock. New seismic studies suggest that it’s not just a solid ball of iron, as has been assumed, but might have pockets of liquid iron throughout.Conti… Continue reading Earth’s solid inner core may have pockets of liquid iron
The mission may be defunct, but NASA’s InSight Mars lander is still uncovering new things about the Red Planet. Scientists poring over data have now made the first direct observations of another planet’s core, finding that it’s not quite what we though… Continue reading NASA lander makes first direct observations of another planet’s core
Looks like it’s lights out on Mars for the InSight lander. The solar-powered lander’s last selfie, sent back in April, showed a thick layer of dust covering everything, including the …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: December 25, 2022
NASA’s InSight lander has detected the strongest and longest quake on Mars so far. The event was five times more powerful than any previous marsquake, unleashing as much energy as all others combined, and with the lander failing the record is unlikely … Continue reading Biggest marsquake on record marks InSight’s swansong
