The Problem

Every year, earthquakes cause $100+ billion in global property damage. The 2011 Tohoku earthquake alone caused $235 billion in damage. The 1994 Northridge earthquake — a moderate 6.7 magnitude — caused $44 billion in damage to Los Angeles.

Current building codes focus on survivability (the building doesn't collapse), not functionality (the building remains usable during and after a quake). Even "earthquake-resistant" structures sustain costly damage and may be condemned after a major event.

Real-World Impact

Most earthquake deaths come from building collapse, not the earthquake itself. If the structure stays intact, survival rates increase dramatically.

Magnitude 7.8 — 2023

Turkey-Syria

59,259 deaths
$34 billion damage

Thousands of "code-compliant" buildings collapsed. Active isolation would have kept structures standing.

Magnitude 7.0 — 2010

Haiti

316,000 deaths
$8 billion damage

Zero seismic isolation in the entire country. A single hospital with active isolation could have remained operational.

Magnitude 9.1 — 2011

Tohoku, Japan

19,759 deaths
$235 billion damage

Japan has the world's best building codes. Buildings with passive base isolation performed well — active systems would reduce damage further.

Magnitude 6.7 — 1994

Northridge, USA

57 deaths
$44 billion damage

A moderate earthquake in a modern city caused catastrophic property damage despite California building codes.

Magnitude 6.2 — 2011

Christchurch, NZ

185 deaths
$40 billion damage

The entire city center was condemned and demolished. Active isolation could have preserved building functionality.

Magnitude 7.8 — 2015

Nepal

8,964 deaths
$10 billion damage

Hospitals collapsed when trauma victims needed them. Schools filled with children came down in seconds.

The Pattern Is Clear

Across 6 major earthquakes: 404,224 deaths and $371 billion in damage. The common factor? Buildings that couldn't adapt to ground motion. StabilityCore's active cancellation keeps structures level and intact.

The Solution

StabilityCore is an active seismic isolation platform that cancels earthquake forces in real time — like a drone's flight controller, but for buildings.

The system combines passive isolation (friction pendulum bearings with electromagnetic friction reduction) with active force cancellation (PID-controlled cable winches). IMU sensors detect motion at 200 Hz, PID controllers compute counter-forces within 10 milliseconds, and actuators apply opposing force to keep the platform level.

The system harvests the earthquake's own energy to power itself — linear alternators and refrigerant compressors driven by seismic displacement. Zero external power required during the event. The harder it shakes, the more power it generates.

Passive Isolation (Current Tech)

  • Absorbs energy — reduces, doesn't cancel
  • Fixed design for single frequency range
  • 40-60% force reduction typical
  • May need replacement after event

StabilityCore (Our Tech)

  • Actively cancels forces in real-time
  • Adapts to any frequency and magnitude
  • Target: 80-95% force reduction
  • Self-powered by earthquake energy — grid-independent
  • Multi-tier early warning with self-diagnostic
  • 33-claim patent covering full technology stack
