1. A damper comprising:
- a cylinder comprising two eccentric bores, wherein the cylinder extends along a primary axis, wherein each of the eccentric bores extends along a secondary axis that extends parallel to the primary axis, and the secondary axes extend on two opposite sides of the primary axis so that each of the eccentric bores comprises a wall formed with a thick portion and a thin portion located opposite to the thick portion in a radial sense of the cylinder, wherein the eccentric bores are located on two opposite sides of a center of the cylinder in an axial sense of the cylinder;
two cores each inserted in a corresponding one of the eccentric bores, wherein the volume of the cores is smaller than that of the eccentric bores, wherein the cores exert forces on the walls of the eccentric bores because of inertia to alleviate vibration of the cylinder; and
two covers for closing the eccentric bores to keep the cores in the eccentric bores.

Abstract
A damper includes a cylinder, cores and covers. The cylinder includes eccentric bores each confined in a wall formed with a thick portion and a thin portion located opposite to the thick portion. The thick portions of the eccentric bores are located on different sides of the cylinder. Each core is inserted in a corresponding eccentric bore. The covers close the eccentric bores to keep the cores in the eccentric bores. The cores are made with a volume smaller than that of the eccentric bores. The cores are separated from each other. The cores exert forces on the walls of the eccentric bores because of inertia to alleviate vibration of the cylinder.
