The fluid in a Fluidampr It has been rumored that the fluid in a Fluidampr turns to gel over time. Here s a news flash, its gel when they pump it into the damper. That is how the technology works. The silicone gel inside the damper keeps the flywheel in place and functioning. So to put all of the competitions claims to rest, it is a gel, always and forever. Maybe they should have named them Geldamprs.Other dampers on the market use rubber or elastomer as the insulator for the internal flywheel. Rubber deteriorates and wears down from repeated movements. In laymans terms, the more you work it, the weaker it will get. The inertia ring that balances an elastomeric damper becomes unstable when the o-rings start to wear. Think of it this way, what does a car wheel feel like when it looses one of its balancing weights? How would a fan missing a blade function? A damper with worn o-rings can unbalance a crankshaft and destroy it. The reason car manufactures install elastomer dampers at the factory is not for performance but for cost. The rubber dampers are cheaper and easier to make.
