The NASA tuned-damper design has a novel slider mass and flywheel concept that enables approximately an order of magnitude more effectiveness for the same size and weight; or the same effectiveness for an order of magnitude decrease in weight. The damper can be manually tuned or remotely tuned to adjust effectiveness. The damper can be made small enough for use in wind-tunnel tests or scaled to large sizes like those used in helicopters\, wind turbines\, or skyscrapers.
