[Integza]

Hi ;), I'm Integza.

 

I'm an youtubers that makes educational videos about physics concepts.

 

In this video is explained the damping effect and addressed some cool examples of damping effect.
Is a important concept, is used in a lot of mechanical systems but also exists in other situations.
Dampers are generally used in vehicle to absorb the irregularities of the ground but nowadays you can find less common dampers in running shoes.
You can achieve this effect using the plastic deformation of solid materials, the compression of gases and the turbulent flow of fluids.
