    Abstract: A protective system is provided including a material comprising a first and second surface opposite one another and a thickness, and where the first surface has a low-electrical resistance and the second surface has a high-electrical resistance that is higher than the electrical resistance of the low-electrical resistance surface, and the material conducts charge from the first surface to the second surface through the thickness. This can be provided in a bilayer structure where a first protective layer having a low-resistivity is disposed upon a second protective layer having a high-resistivity. This protective system is particularly useful for dissipating electrical charge, for example as a lightning strike protection system for composite aircraft.

The rotary damper includes an outer canister (22) with an inner paddle wheel receiving cavity (26) which receives an inner paddle wheel (60) with upper and lower elastomeric tubular intermediate members (78,80) between the inner paddle wheel and the outer canister.
