Feel the Beat of #Deichkind tonight: Live Seismic Vibes from Deichkind concert on #Trabrennbahn #Hamburg!
We’re excited to bring you live measurements of the seismic energy from the Deichkind concert happening at Trabrennbahn Hamburg! Using our WAVE seismic measurement network at the Bahrenfeld campus at DESY, just some 100 meters away, we’re capturing how the ground moves with the music and the energy of the crowd!
Our state-of-the-art WAVE fiber optic (DAS) sensor network is incredibly sensitive, allowing us to detect even the smallest vibrations underground, almost like we’re listening with a thousand ears beneath the city. Tonight, Deichkind's electrifying performances will have thousands of fans dancing and jumping, and we’re ready to capture every beat!
Join us tonight from 20:00 for a livestream of our vibration measurements, showcasing the real-time “Deichquakes” in action!
In the past, we’ve successfully picked up vibrations from major concerts. The collective energy of the crowd will cause the ground to “swing along” slightly. Don’t worry about any “Deichquakes”—these are just tiny, harmless vibrations, too small to feel but perfectly detectable with our sensitive equipment. Think of it like the subtle shake you feel when a big truck drives by, but caused by fans having a great time!
On our livestream (https://lnkd.in/ePjD4r7W), you’ll see two types of nearly real-time visualizations:
- A ring of ‘rainbow blobs’ showing the strength and direction of the vibrations, filtered for different frequency bands.
- A classic ‘waterfall plot’ that displays vibration intensity over time and distance along our fiber network.
These visualizations give us a fascinating real-time look at how Hamburg responds to the music and energy of a live Deichkind concert!
