The Bose suspension uses MR fluid if I recall. I have done enormous research (and even have made some myself for a project) and that stuff is amazing...Ciro Pabón wrote:Fastback, I think you already got the idea that pushing down will make the car to jump.

J'espère que, comme nous, vous avez apprécié le spectacle! (I hope that, like us, you have appreciated the show). Bose suspension.
My idea was suspending the MR material in hydraulic fluid, and using an AC coil, bent in the middle, to actually use an oscillating frequency to actually "pump" the fluid. It actually worked, but I lacked the funds to build a prototype latger than the 1/8 in. tubing that I used to see if any motive power could be derived from it.
Someday, I will have enough banked cash to build a few full-sized prototypes, but until then....
