Rotational inerters are described herein that can provide torque applications in response to a rotation component. The inerter can include a first shaft having a first longitudinal axis and a second shaft having a second longitudinal axis. A first gear can be connected with the first shaft and a second gear can be connected with the second shaft. The first and second gears can be in meshing engagement with one another. In some arrangements, the first gear can be a worm gear and the second gear can be a worm. A flywheel can be connected with the second shaft. Rotation of the first shaft can cause the second shaft to rotate. Arrangements described herein can cause a torque to be applied at the first shaft that is proportional to a rate of change of the angular velocity of the first shaft about the first longitudinal axis.
