How car shock absorbers turn bumps into heat
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Surviving potholes without a brutal jolt works by forcefully converting road impacts into rapidly dissipating heat. While springs allow the car to bounce, the attached damper is basically a piston angrily pushing oil through tiny microscopic holes. The sheer friction of violently shoving thick fluid back and forth completely neutralizes the bouncy spring, keeping your tires safely glued to the chaotic asphalt.
One discovery leads to another.
