This guy wants to build an inertial damper for MTBs. I guess someone needs to understand a bit better why do MTBs have suspension/dampers in the first place:

I have at least an issue with his purely mechanical approach:

No rebound damping????

I'd love to see that bike at full compression, with the ball screw stomping into the front tire...

Inertia damper mated to a dynamo, charging the batteries of your ebike. If you run out of juice, send it down a few sweet drops or hump it for five minutes.
You've heard it here first.
