I actually did a report on the tacoma narrows for my technical communications course. You can look up the whole back ground of what lead to the bridge being captured on video at the right time. Long story short, it had problems with wobbling even during construction, crews working on it nicknamed the bridge "galloping gertie". Despite this, the people leading the project decided to continue on with the design with a few minor modifications to compensate, rather than making a new design completely new design and start over. Also, go look up a picture of the aftermath. There's one peering down and it looks like a dystopian bottomless chasm.

[@user-op8fg3ny3j]

Wasn't the exact cause for the bridge's failure due to resonance? I know a similar incident happened with the millennium bridge in London due to the walking pattern of the pedestrians but luckily the engineers quickly realised. Whatever the external force, there will be a point where it matches the structure's natural frequency, causing it to vibrate at a greater amplitude.

[@frankiecoss7141]

@@user-op8fg3ny3j yes, but it was resonance from gusts of wind that the area the bridge crossed over. Imagine you are holding onto a bed sheet on one end and you let the rest slack. Imagine a big gust of wind comes and the sheet will start flapping and begin to oscillate. That's what essentially happened to the bridge.

[@tippyc2]

Redesigning it from scratch wasnt an option by the time they realized the problem. It was already mostly complete. Redesigning it from scratch would have meant tearing it down and wasting all that taxpayer money. That being said, they didnt really do anything to solve the problem before they opened it to traffic.

[@tippyc2]

@@user-op8fg3ny3j Yeah it was a specific type of resonance called buffeting, where the interaction of strong winds with a flexible structure creates a feedback loop. The bridge deck itself was built pretty light because it was a suspension bridge and all the strength is in the cables. What little stiffness the bridge deck did have came from tall, solid steel walls on both sides of the bridge. The walls ended up being the right configuration to catch the wind, which caused unanticipated loading, and the bridge just wasnt designed with enough stiffness to resist that. Eventually there was a moderately windy day and the bridge just ripped itself apart.

I dont know why but this story reminds me of a time at my grandmtoerh's house. She had an older TV in the living room. Her and I would often play cardgames together and neither of us can shuffle so she had bought an automatic shuffler. It was great, but something about it running caused the television screen to shake. It had to been at least 6 feet away (I am rather bad at judging distances)

[@dopesickdog]

that was probably an OLD old TV, where the remote signal to change the channels was sonic vibrations - my mom recalled a similar thing happening whenever her mom used a stand mixer

[@I.____.....__...__]

It's the magnets in the motors affecting the (poorly-shielded) CRT. The CRT TV used an electron-gun to shoot electrons at the phosphors in the coating on the inside of the glass. The magnets in the motor of the shuffler deflected the electrons to the wrong position. It sounds like you got lucky. The magnets in the motors were spinning, so the deflection was cancelled out, so once it was stopped, it was (mostly) okay. If you manually held a magnet near a CRT, it would/could affect the magnetic fields in it and cause it to permanently get messed up, then you'd need to de-Gauss it with a rapidly-fluctuating magnetic field. Some computer monitors came with a de-Gaussing function built in (though you weren't supposed to activate too often or that could mess up the monitor), but usually, TVs needed a special de-Gaussing "wand" tool. I learned this the hard way. 🤦

[@JosephTheRocker]

Hey muta, architect here. I did a study of that bridge in school. Like you said what happened is a form of resonance. The same kind of resonance that happens when microphones give off feedback. Essentially when a wave encounters another wave of the same frequency or a solid object that corresponds with that specific wave compounds on top of each other and increases exponentially, hence the racking in the bridge and in the hard drive. Start small and then exponentially increases. When a microphone gives off feedback, it's because the signal that's input is also the signal that's being output, and the loud squeal that you hear is that resonance frequency

[@grahamokeefe9406]

Reminds me of in the 80s when some phone hackers figured out that if you blew a whistle that came as a prize in boxes of Cap'n Crunch, you could make long distance calls for free.

[@xhancexd]

for some people still who don't get how this resonance shenanigans. For example if you take a guitar, make the b string(string above the high e) play a high e note, when you play a not on a string, you can see it vibrate. when you play this e note on that b string, you will notice that the high e string also vibrates along with the b string you just plucked. this happens because both string have the same resonance frequency. the song have a certain frequency that also vibrates the internals of the Hard drive, messing up the accuracy of the stylus(maybe), reading or writing at the wrong location.(maybe)

[@HangoverBlues]

Dude...Muta, as a sound engineer this blew my mind xD given how hard drive manufacturers often source their hardware fromt he same place, it realy wouldn't take very much in the ways of research to find the resonant frequency of a given model of drive and weaponize it! forget the song, a tone generator would do xD

[@HangoverBlues]

@RCBones see, I'm not sure the resonant frequency is necessarily related to the rpm of the drive. It's more likely to be related to the structure of the drive and the materials it's made of, so not necessarily 7,200Hz. That said, it might be possible to achieve a more potent effect by using a sound that's composed of the resonance frequency and a few of its harmonics (both higher and lower) thus affecting a potentially broader range of components. All theoretical though at the moment

[@HangoverBlues]

@RCBones the skinny of it is: it's definitely possible to destroy absolutely any structure using sound by playing the resonant frequency at a high enough amplitude. The science behind it is that all matter vibrates at all times at frequencies that vary and modulate based on the type of matter, its state, and the overall structure of the object. Playing the resonant frequency effectively adds energy to this vibration and at a high enough amplitude this causes molecular bonds to come undone causing the structure to fall apart. The tricky bit is that the more heterogeneous the material and the more complex the structure, the more difficult it is to find the most effective resonance frequency, and in some cases you'd need to use a handful of root frequencies AND a few of their harmonics to make sure you're getting everything in the structure vibrating hard enough. That said, I'm the case of a hard drive you could get away with targeting the frequencies for the read arm and the disks themselves since these are the important bits. ✌️

[@HangoverBlues]

@RCBones I'm afraid I have to disagree with you on several points here. There are documented cases of bridges and oil rig pillars warping and breaking due to resonance frequency strain caused by wind and sea waves respectively. In fact, resonance frequencies are a real consideration when designing such large structures and both the proportions and materials used in such construction are designed specifically to mitigate the possibility of breakage due to these kinds of strains. The fact that concert speakers don't routinely break things is because the sound they project and amplify is broadband, meaning there no one specific frequency but rather a broad range of frequencies. Having frequencies that aren't harmonics of eachother disrupts resonance and prevents a build up of kinetic energy that would otherwise cause a given object to break. In conclusion: yes, it's very unlikely, and you'd normally have to actively be trying to hit the resonance frequency of the object whilst taking into account the structure of the object and the materials it's made of, but it's far from impossible. Links for examples of resonance frequency breaking items other than glass will follow in the next few comments.

[@AzraelAlpha]

Turns out hackers can extrapolate data from a system's hard drive sound frequencies made during normal operation and theoretically breach it. Reality is indeed stranger than fiction.

Medical, culinary, vehicle mechanics (both normal and commercial level) just to name a few. I had chosen Electrical engineering for my class, and as a Junior, I had to deal with the basics of circuitry and their components. Whereas Senior students could volunteer to be the school's onsite tech support if they had finished their programming lessons. Anyways, my story begins with one of the students receiving a call from the Travel Agency class saying 'one of our PCs ate a CD'. Not believing that to be the case, the student who received the call made their way to the aforementioned class and began to inspect the PC in question. Upon opening the disk drive, sure enough, the CD wasn't inside! Somehow, the disk reader suffered an error that made it lift the CD up off of the spinning device and caused the CD itself to come to rest inside with the rest of the internal PC components.

How about this one: If I leave my macbook on my nightstand with a USB hub plugged in, whenever I get out of bed the Macbook goes to full volume. When I get back in bed the volume goes back to mute. It literally does this by itself. Today I still dont know wtf causes this ...

I'm guessing it has to do with bad interference from the USB hub and the touchbar volume control on the macbook. Touchscreens work by reading the electrical signal from your finger, since the sensor gets a different signal for each position. It's possible the sensor is somehow receiving that exact signal every time you get up. Could also be something just setting off a "volume up key" signal through the USB, but that is less likely.

Guess we really were part of a Rhythm Nation. Now it kinda makes sense why I had two laptops die on me around 2009 2010. Rythmn nation as a song that used to frequently play on the oldies station or my mom would be playing it on her Ipod through some speakers.

You're thinking about it the wrong way Muta, it's not about the song, it's about the frequency. Now that people know this is a thing they can (if they want) single out the tones for major brands and use sub sonic frequency to crash your computer without you even knowing, from afar even. I can't even imagine the amount of effort it would take to find out the resonant frequency for any other drives, but technically speaking, a tonal generator can crash any HDD, not just 2005 ThinkPads. Assuming the manufacturer hasn't insulated them well enough (don't defend these mega companies without proof, you know they cheap out). Imagine someone buys a new MacBook, finds out what their hard drives resonant frequency is, buys an ad on the radio across the nation and hides that tone inside the ad. Investigation comes back on them and nothing sticks, they have plausible deniability, "How was I supposed to know that would happen" even apples competition could do this via proxy and take down MacBook sales.

I still prefer hard drives because of there storage to price ratio even though hard drives are slower than SSDs. If you buy a 1TB hard drive, it's gonna cost ya around $50. If you buy a 1TB SSD it's gonna cost ya around $100. Ya get more storage for your dollar with hard drives even though they are slower. Hopefully SSDs get cheaper in the future.

It depends on what you're using it for, obviously. I've had to use some very old and slow hard drives and the load times were eventually just unbearable. Not games, I'm talking about booting up.

[@piratebear3126]

Combine both. Grab a mid-level 250-500 GB SSD for your OS then a multi TB drive to install games and store media on. Windows is what really benefits from the speed, not necessarily other programs.

For $100 you can get a 5TB hard drive. Or a 3TB drive with heavy duty, shock resistant components. No idea if they work, I just buy regular 5TB drives and only transport my 500GB Portable SSD when I need to take a lot of data somewhere.

I see no reason this would be limited to 2005 laptops. It's just a matter of finding the resonance frequency to a newer HDD and find a song to match… or just create the song.

Newer hard drives probably have mitigations such as a mass damper or vibration isolation. But I could also be wrong.

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
