(July 2009) An inertia damper is a device that counters or dampens the effects of inertia and other forces and motion. The damper does not negate the forces but either absorbs or redirects them by other means. For example, a large suspended mass may be used to absorb several short-duration large forces, and to reapply those forces as a smaller force over a longer period. There are many types of physical devices that can act as inertia dampers: Ballast Brakes - kinetic energy redirected as heating due to friction between surfaces pressed together Counterweight - a mass which by mechanical means is caused to move in opposition to the motion of some other mass, partially negating forces such as gravity, that are acting upon the primary mass Dogbone damper - absorbs resonant wave motions in wire and support cables Flywheel - rotational forces Pendulum - oscillatory forces Shock absorber - motion redirected as heating of viscous oil forced through a restrictive passage Rotary Damper - This is a cross between the flywheel and shock absorber. It genrally includes an inertial mass suspended in a viscous medium. The mass is free to move but is restricted only by the viscous medium which couples driving force from the (driven) outer housing.
