# Friction Damping
|
|
The idea of friction damping is that vibrations are not directly transmitted from one object to the other if they are connected only by friction.

If the orange plate (1) vibrates, the clamping structure in red (2) will vibrate less because some energy is dissipated as heat through the friction process.

I encountered this concept here: [The Hidden Tech In Freestyle Drones... - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17ibhclhzhw)

It is related to [[Material Damping]], where the inherent properties of the material dissipate Energy as Heat when its bending and transforming |
