Claim Text:
1. A device for damping vibrations with energy recovery, comprising: an input shaft, having a longitudinal axis and being rotatable about the longitudinal axis in alternating rotational directions by a component that vibrates relative to the device; a freewheel device having an input side and an output side and being connected on the input side to the input shaft, said freewheel device comprising a first freewheel and a second freewheel arranged on the output side, said first and second freewheels each being rotationally fixed to the input shaft and configured to lock in opposite directions of rotation of the input shaft; and a generator, capable of converting the kinetic rotational energy into electric energy and transferring said electric energy to an energy storage element, said second freewheel being connected on the output side to a reversing gear mechanism, said reversing gear mechanism and said first freewheel being at least indirectly connected to the generator on the output side.
