Energy absorber may refer to several things:
- A panel to absorb the radiant energy of sunlight to heat a fluid, often water for domestic use (see solar hot water). Solar hot water is water heated by the use of Solar energy. Solar heating systems are generally composed of solar Thermal collectors a Fluid
- A bolometer, a device to convert electromagnetic radiation and the momentum of energetic particles to thermal energy which in turn is easily measured. A bolometer is a device for measuring the energy of incident Electromagnetic radiation.
- 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. A shock absorber in common parlance (or damper in technical use is a mechanical device designed to smooth out or dampen shock impulse and dissipate
- A material or device to disperse and dissipate impact energy, useful in a protective helmet for sports or in armor such as a ballistic vest for protection in warfare, and also as packing to protect boxed contents during shipping. A helmet is a form of Protective gear worn on the head to protect it from injuries a variation of the hat Armour (or armor) is protective covering most commonly manufactured from metals to prevent damage from being inflicted to an individual or a vehicle through use of direct contact A ballistic vest is an item of protective clothing that absorbs the impact from gun-fired Projectiles and shrapnel fragments from explosion
- 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. The crumple zone of a vehicle such as an Automobile is a structural feature designed to compress during an Accident to absorb Energy from an impact A seat belt, sometimes called a safety belt, is a Safety harness designed to secure the occupant of a Vehicle against harmful movement that may result from An airbag is part of a vehicle's safety restraint system a flexible envelope designed for rapid inflation in an automobile Collision, to prevent vehicle occupants
