Publication number: 20180245658Abstract: Energy transfer apparatus such as a viscous damper or hydraulic cylinder apparatus are described along with their use, the apparatus generating velocity dependent damping force between two spatially separate points. The apparatus may comprise a system with a piston coupled to a rod shaft, the piston and rod shaft moving in a fitted, or sealed cylinder with end caps and fluid sealing elements at either end of the cylinder, the system containing fluid in at least one cavity located between the piston and cylinder and an accumulator fluidly connected to the at least one cavity. The rod shaft and piston move relative to the cylinder in the event of an imposed dynamic force and the accumulator counteracts over or under pressure in the at least one cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2016Publication date: August 30, 2018Applicant: Holmes Solutions Limited PartnershipInventors: Andrew Karl DIEHL, John McCALLISTER, Mark THOMSON, Murray AITKEN, Stuart CLARK
