This device is called the Controlled Rocking System.
The Controlled Rocking System is used to reduce damage to buildings during earthquakes, it allows them to sway while the quake takes place, and return to its original position when it is over. It will protect the building from breaking down and falling over, hurting someone or having irreversible damage.

This device is used to stabilize buildings so it will decrease costs of repare and boost safety for the people, animals and things around it. It will be used to reduce damage.
The device was created and patented by the Imperial College Innovations.
The controlled rocking system is used to eliminate large drifts. The damage that could be inflicted is prevented by replaceable fuse elements. When used for steel-framed buildings it is made of a steel braced frame that is pretty much elastic, but it isn’t attached to the foundation so it can sway side to side, there are vertical post-tensioning strands that anchor the top of the frame down to the foundation, which brings the frame back to center. There is also replaceable structural fuses that absorb energy as the frames sway.
