A helicopter Pfeiffer damper works by using a rotating pendulum attached to the rotor head. The pendulum moves in response to changes in the rotor system's orientation, providing a counteracting force to reduce vibrations. This helps stabilize the helicopter during flight and improves overall control and handling.

How does a mass damper work?

A mass damper is a weight placed inside a structure that moves in the opposite direction of the building's sway during an earthquake or strong winds. This helps to reduce the building's movement and vibration, increasing its stability and safety. The mass damper absorbs and redirects the energy, reducing the impact on the structure.


How do you know if the damper is open or closed?

On mine if you turn the nob clockwise, that openes the damper. If you trun the now counter clockwise that closes the damper. Yours may be different. Let me think. Did you have anything in your stocking this morning?


Is a fireplace damper opened when the chain is up or down?

In most cases, the fireplace damper is open when the chain is up and closed when the chain is down. Pulling the chain up usually opens the damper to allow smoke and gases to escape, while pulling it down closes the damper when the fireplace is not in use.


What is difference between damper and shock absorber?

A damper is a component that dissipates oscillations or movements within a system, such as in a suspension system of a vehicle. A shock absorber is a type of damper specifically designed to absorb and dampen impact forces when a vehicle encounters bumps or rough terrain. In other words, a shock absorber is a specific type of damper used in vehicle suspensions to provide a smoother ride.


Why does the rotors spin on an helicopter?

The rotor blades on a helicopter work the same way as wings on a fixed wing aircraft. The air passing faster over the top of the airfoil generates lift. Helicopter rotors spin so that the lift is generated without having to have forward airspeed like a fixed wing aircraft.
