The invention relates to an electromagnetic shock absorber (ESA) with a shock absorbing unit having a rotor coupled with a conductive disc or drum, the system providing one or more transversely oriented magnetic fields by the shock absorbing unit generating eddy currents in the conductive disc or drum and exerting a Lorentz force opposite to the velocity of the conductive disc or drum; the rotor characterised by being in a conductive contact with an electric control circuit. The shock absorbing unit can be a double-acting unit, it can contain a magnetic element. It can provide translationally rotational movement. The ESA can be couplable or coupled with different moving means, with different vehicles. It can be fabricated from different materials. The ESA can be couplable or coupled with different mechanocomponents and/or electrocomponents. A method is proposed for operating the ESA to provide a shock absorbing effect and/or a propulsion effect.
