Abstract: A valve and a shock absorber based on electrorheological liquids A valve and a shock absorber are described which are based on electrorheological liquids and which contain a valve aperture between two chambers, wherein the boundary faces of the valve aperture consist of electrically conductive material and are insulated from each other, and which comprise a source of high voltage, each of the voltage terminals of which can be connected to one of the boundary faces, with the characterising feature that the valve aperture has a meander-shaped cross-section.
