Method and apparatus of providing energy absorption for vibration dampening in a horizontal plane

An apparatus for providing vibrational dampening for a vertical structure, the apparatus comprising:

• a first enclosed housing;
• wherein the first enclosed housing is comprised of a bottom wall, a side wall and a top wall;
• a first concave flooring surface, wherein the first concave flooring surface is enclosed within the first enclosed housing;
• and
• a first dampening weight, wherein the first dampening weight is located within the first enclosed housing;
• further wherein the first dampening weight is comprised of a spherical mass which is configured to freely roll on the first concave flooring surface;
• wherein the first dampening weight is comprised of a first inner cavity;
• further wherein the first dampening weight is further comprised of a plurality of first dampening particles located within the first inner cavity;
• a second enclosed housing;
• wherein the second enclosed housing is comprised of a bottom wall, a side wall and a top wall;
• a second concave flooring surface, wherein the second concave flooring surface is enclosed within the second enclosed housing;
• and
• a second dampening weight, wherein the second dampening weight is located within the second enclosed housing;
• further wherein the second dampening weight is comprised of a second spherical mass which is configured to freely roll on the second concave flooring surface;
• wherein the second dampening weight is comprised of a second inner cavity;
• further wherein the second dampening weight is further comprised of a plurality of second dampening particles located within the second inner cavity;
• wherein the first enclosed housing is attached to the vertical structure at a first point;
• wherein the second enclosed housing is attached to the vertical structure at a second point;
• wherein the first and second points of the vertical structure are separate from each other;
• wherein the first dampening particles have a first density;
• wherein the second dampening particles have a second density;
• wherein the first density is lower than the second density.
