Claim:
1. A vibration dampener for an electrical motor comprising: a member configured to engage an electrical motor housing and a mounting plate, the member being a trapezoidal prism having: a first surface configured to engage a surface of the electrical motor housing; and a second surface configured to engage the mounting plate, each of the first and second surfaces having first and second ends, the first ends of the first and second surfaces being located at a first side of the member and being closer to one another than the second ends of the first and second surfaces, which are located at a second side of the member, the first ends of the first and second surfaces being separated by a distance that is less than a distance between the electrical motor housing and the mounting plate and the second ends of the first and second surfaces being separated by a distance that is greater than the distance between the electrical motor housing and the mounting plate to enable the first ends of the first and second surfaces of the member to be inserted into a space between the electrical motor housing and the mounting plate until a portion of the member proximate the second ends of the first and second surfaces is wedged into contact with the electrical motor housing and the mounting plate to stiffen the bending moment of the electrical motor housing and modify a resonance frequency of the electrical motor.
