Abstract
Technologies are described for devices to absorb vibration. The devices may comprise an inertia track housing, an inertia track fluid reservoir, and an inertia track body. The inertia track fluid reservoir and the inertia track body may be within the inertia track housing. Walls of the inertia track body may define a first and a second spiral inertia track. The first and second spiral inertia tracks may be spiral channels within the outer surface of the inertia track body. The first spiral inertia track may connect a first fluid reservoir with the inertia track fluid reservoir. The second spiral inertia track may connect a second fluid reservoir with the inertia track fluid reservoir. The first and second spiral inertia tracks may be configured to channel the flow of a fluid along the first spiral inertia track and the second spiral inertia track and interact with the fluid to absorb vibration.
