Abstract

An arrangement for damping blade vibrations in a turbomachine is provided. The blade vibrations are due to an arrangement made of magnets and multiple induction plates and the undesired vibrations of the blade are damped by creating turbulent flows, wherein the induction plates are directed parallel to the rotation axis, and the magnetic field caused by the magnets is formed homogenously in the circumferential direction.
