Abstract
Antivibration device comprising two frames and an elastomer body interconnecting said frames and delimiting a first hydraulic chamber linked to a second deformable hydraulic chamber via a throttle passage. A microturbine is rotatably mounted in the throttle passage and is coupled to a generator. The microturbine is configured to be always driven in the same rotational direction by the fluid when the fluid reciprocates along opposing first and second paths within the throttle passage.
