The maximum available damping in electromagnetic dampers has been a bottleneck in their way to playing more serious roles in the industry. Most of The current solutions result in heavy or complicated dampers which cannot be used in certain applications. As a solution for this problem, a negative resistance is proposed to be created in the shunt circuit of an electric damper using a bidirectional boost converter. The negative resistance compensates for some of the internal resistance in the damper circuit and leads to a lower overall resistance. As the result higher currents are induced in the circuit, and higher damping levels are achieved.
