Devices For Damping Mechanical Oscillations TRIZ Cases
- Robotic Stockbridge Damper Installation on Power Lines
A wire-traversing robotic installer places Stockbridge dampers with breakaway bolts to improve attachment precision and remove workers from hazardous line work.
- Dual-Leg Cable Vibration Damper for Fatigue Reduction
Opposed flexible legs and offset weighted portions damp cable side-to-side and circular motion, reducing damper fatigue and extending lifespan.
- Overhead Line Counterweight Slots for Corrosion Inspection
Radial slots in overhead line counterweights expose fixing arms for fast visual corrosion checks while improving ventilation and service life.
- Power Line Robot With Tunable Vibration Damping and Energy Harvesting
A mobile damper robot repositions to cable antinodes, suppresses line vibration, and harvests power through electromagnetic conversion.
- Flip-Extension Insulator Cover for Remote Power Line Protection
A pivoting base and flip extensions let crews cover remote power lines faster with hot sticks while reducing installation difficulty and risk.
- Active Cable Vibration Damping for Modulated Current Noise
Sensors and actuators counter cable vibration from modulated currents, cutting audible noise through destructive interference.
