I could probably spend some time tweaking the spring tension and/or wheel diameter get those dampers working even better. The design with the ball bearings shown on the Solsylva site works also. Not sure which design is the better one though. There are viscous dampers available commercially but they tend to be pricey and not something that can easily be home built.
