A panel to absorb the radiant energy of sunlight to heat a fluid, such as
solar hot water
A
bolometer, a device to convert electromagnetic radiation and the momentum of energetic particles to thermal energy which in turn is easily measured
A kinetic-energy absorbing medium, sometimes called a crash pit or
runaway truck ramp
A
shock absorber, a device to dampen spring rebound by expending work by forcing a fluid through ports, and so converting the mechanical energy to heat
In the context of
Fall arrest, an energy absorber is a device that limits the energy of a falling body
A material or device to disperse and dissipate impact energy, such as
a protective
helmet for sports, motorcycling or bicycling
armor such as a
ballistic vest for protection in warfare
Materials to protect boxed contents during shipping, such as
A portion of vehicle such as an automobile designed to protect the occupants, usually by creating "
crumple zones" at each end of the vehicle while preserving a stiff central cage in which the occupants are secured by seat belts and protected by inflatable air bags
