NASA said April 3 it was leaning toward adding shock absorbers to Ares 1 to address the vexing vibration problem that designers of the astronaut-crew-launching rocket have been wrestling with for ...

Ever thin a steel-shafted 3-iron on a 40-degree morning? "That's exactly how we tested it," Kerim Kfuri, a partner in Shock Lock Sports, which has developed a vibration-damping device for irons ...

Shock absorbers have several advantages: 1. Longer machine life: Shock absorbers significantly reduce shock and vibration on machinery. This decreases machinery damage, downtime, and maintenance ...

Shock-absorber Durometer may also serve to help ensure adequate sway space. A 30 Shore 00 material will have a lower spring constant and support less weight (i.e., compress more) than a 70 Shore ...

Deadly sound waves When the vibration threat was discovered in October, it was characterized as the top threat to the design of the new moon rocket, Rick Gilbrech, NASA's exploration chief, said.

A two-tiered system of shock absorbers can quell dangerous vibration problems on NASA’s future Ares I rocket, agency officials announced on Tuesday. NASA aims to use Ares I to carry the Orion ...

The purpose of the shock absorber is* to check the tendency to excessive rebounds, stopping the disagreeable vibration of the vehicle body, and preventing breakage of springs from this cause.

Fuel economy could improve 1-4%, 8% for hybrids. The worse the road, the more energy created -- reach 100 mpg on a road that knocks your fillings loose!

An artist's interpretation shows NASA's Ares 1 rocket launching spaceward. A dual shock absorber system for the rocket should solve the problem of excessive vibration during flight, the agency ...

But with the shock absorbers in place,vibrations in the Ares 1 rocket should be limited to about 0.25 Gs, orone-fourth the force of Earth?s gravity, NASA engineers said.
