Abstract:
An asymmetric Stockbridge damper having at least six and as many as ten resonant frequencies. The damper includes two assemblies, each having a primary weight at the end of a messenger cable and two secondary weights at the ends of thin beams. The thin beams are mounted at one end to the primary weight and each support a secondary weight at an opposite end. The thin beams extend parallel to the messenger cable. The messenger cable is affixed to a clamp assembly which clamps to an overhead transmission line. The clamp assembly includes a toggle crank generating a theoretically infinite clamping force on the transmission line.

Claim (Index 1):
A vibration damper comprising:\n a clamp assembly to mount the vibration damper to a line; a first messenger cable extending in a first direction from the clamp assembly and having an end affixed to a first primary weight to dampen vibrations through flexion of the first messenger cable and oscillation of the first primary weight with respect to the clamp assembly; a second messenger cable extending in a second direction opposite the first direction from the clamp assembly and having an end affixed to a second primary weight to dampen vibrations through flexion of the second messenger cable and oscillation of the second primary weight with respect to the clamp assembly; a first beam extending from the first primary weight and having an end affixed to a first secondary weight to dampen vibrations through flexion of the first beam and oscillation of the first secondary weight with respect to the first primary weight; a second beam extending from the first primary weight and having an end affixed to a second secondary weight to dampen vibrations through flexion of the second beam and oscillation of the second secondary weight with respect to the first primary weight; a third beam extending from the second primary weight and having an end affixed to a third secondary weight to dampen vibrations through flexion of the third beam and oscillation of the third secondary weight with respect to the second primary weight; and a fourth beam extending from the second primary weight and having an end affixed to a fourth secondary weight to dampen vibrations through flexion of the fourth beam and oscillation of the fourth secondary weight with respect to the second primary weight; wherein each of the first, second, third, and fourth beams includes a vertically-facing surface having a relatively large surface area and a horizontally-facing surface having a relatively small surface area such that an area moment of inertia of each beam is larger about an axis perpendicular to the vertically-facing surface than about an axis perpendicular to the horizontally-facing surface.
