Earthquaker
vibrator accumulates energy in ground till earhquake occurs | |
Using mechanics and soundwaves this machine causes an earthquake for military uses. First small warning earthquakes and then as time evolves you give the real thing, making a whole new thing to worry about, after atomic bombs and crazy religions and beliefs taking over us.

How big an earthquake are you looking for? |
|
| |
According to values I found on a page of howstuffworks.com - |
|
| |
A magnitude 5.0 earthquake is about 200 tons of TNT : doable. |
|
| |
magnitude 6.0 is 6,270 tons : Okay, that's a lot of explosives |
|
| |
7.0 is 199,000 tons : You got a nuke? |
|
| |
8.0 is 6,270,000 tons : Or a thermonuclear bomb, if you've got one going begging. |

What is it when my stepather's sister walks across the room? |
|
| |
I believe they have to use concrete. Her heels overstress wood. The Army Corps of Engineers keeps tabs on her whereabouts so as to provide support beams when she crosses bridges. |
|
| |
Thinking the other way round, has anyone tried to harvest earthquake energy for electricity generation? |
