Active mechanical stablization of structures
This project organized by Professor Carlsmith will demonstrate active stabilization of an inverted pendulum through vertical oscillation of the support. Youtube has examples of stabilization of a triple inverted pendulum http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHZL3X2IMBs.
Looks like they failed at Princeton. Do better?
