Vibration absorption material

[greenman407]

I think it was Tom who turned me on to some vibration absorbing material available from "Edmund Scientific", called "Sorbathane" I used it to good effect underneath APCs in various submarines. The sheet is about an 1/8" thick and kinda pricey. The otherday I spotted this on Ebay and bought one. Its similar to the other stuff but thicker and sticky on both sides and maybe a little "Squishier". Its 5mm thick and comes in a small stick measuring 1&3/4" x 5&3/4". That makes it about the right size to cut up and mount 5 to 6 different small devices. Just a little FYI from your local RC guy.

Hi Mark,

Please look at this video....I believe the benchmarking is very well executed.....resulting in very interesting conclusions.

Thanks Bart, I will look at it in depth this evening

Bart, I did watch the video. It looked thorough enough for me to take a chance and purchase some Moongel. It had a link to some being sold on Amazon. Got some coming. Thanks for the heads up on this video. I see Dave Merriman also watched the video and left a comment for the Gent there on Youtube. I wonder if he ordered some. We could have a race and see who can actually try it out first!!..................Im sure I would get beat.

OK so this guy says that zeal is better than moongel in the freq. range he listed. Ok....I have both of them. I started out with the zeal and ordered some moongel. I will do my own analysis on reducing vibration received by APCs and ADFs. Theres more than one way to skin a cat.

David did what I must have done in the first place give the guy a compliment for the video.....lessons learned here....and rectified.
