A clever New Zealander named (Dr) Bill Robinson invented two such useful devices, the Lead-Rubber Bearing is one, now widely used even as a retro-fit on appropriate buildings and bridges. The Lead Extrusion Damper, a shock-absorber type of device in which lead is the fluid, which in its deformation, absorbs energy. And, importantly, the lead will quickly re-crystallize in the tube, ready for its next challenge.

A third type of device is an energy absorbing pendulum, used in tall buildings to reduce even wind sway.
