When I first saw the title of the video - BOSE Electromagnetic Suspension Video - I though, wait a minute, aren't BOSE those guys that make those incredible sound systems? Well, yes, but they also hold a lot of patents in all sorts of areas.
After a 5 year study of the current suspension systems available, conducted by CEO Dr. Amar Bose, BOSE reached a result: none of them are right. The research led Dr. Bose to electromagnetics as the right physics branch for the job of developing the best suspension system yet.
This is how the BOSE Electromagnetic Suspension works in principle:
a linear electromagnetic motor is installed at each wheel. Inside the linear electromagnetic motor are magnets and coils of wire. When electrical power is applied to the coils, the motor retracts and extends, creating motion between the wheel and the car body.
The BOSE Electromagnetic Suspension involves a lot of other mathematical and physics elements developed over 24 years of research, but I'm sure most of you are only interested in the results. If you want a more detailed description of the system go to www.bose.com.
If you are just interested in the results, watch the BOSE Electromagnetic Suspension Video after the jump.
NOTE! Watch it until the end - there's a special treat!
