I don't know how it works either - but it looks pretty good...

How it works HERE

I think it's safe to say electromagnets
Getting your car to jump over sleeping policemen would be On the other hand it's another thing to go wrong (expensively) and will sap bhp (will need lots of power out of the alternator).

Its a simple system really. The suspension system includes a linear electromagnetic motor and power amplifier at each wheel, and a set of control algorithms. This proprietary combination of suspension hardware and control software makes it possible to combine superior comfort and control in the same vehicle.

A linear electromagnetic motor is installed at each wheel of a Bose equipped vehicle. 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 car body.
The power amplifier delivers electrical power to the motor in response to signals from the control algorithms. The amplifiers are based on switching amplification technologies pioneered by Dr. Bose at MIT in the early 1960s — technologies that led to the founding of Bose Corporation in 1964.

The regenerative power amplifiers allow power to flow into the linear electromagnetic motor and also allow power to be returned from the motor. For example, when the Bose suspension encounters a pothole, power is used to extend the motor and isolate the vehicle's occupants from the disturbance. On the far side of the pothole, the motor operates as a generator and returns power back through the amplifier. In so doing, the Bose suspension requires less than a third of the power of a typical vehicle's air conditioner system.



Or see! >Bose Suspension System

just one question pauldm, what in gods name is going on in your Avatar.

It is highly disturbing


macnab - 16/2/07 at 02:46 PM

Good question! Especially as it says:

"Building: See my Avatar"

Are you building a madman?

Remove your wallet from you pocket when you drive a seven with this suspension. Your creditcards will be erased!


jamesbond007ltk - 16/2/07 at 04:34 PM

If you had made a locost with this suspension you wouldn't need a wallet. 'cos you'd be skint!

i think, loosely translated, he is saying Bose dont just make very expensive headphones, they also make very expensive shockers as well.

Does look rather good though.

I certainly hope the suspension is better made than the overpriced junk they have to cheek to call "hifi".

Spot on, almost as bad as B&O, all style no substance.

This has been mentioned before.

BOSE:

Bloody
Overpriced
Sh1te
Equipment

IMHO of course ( But based on years of experience).

I thought the guy in the avatar looked like the typical bulder trying to make things work!
I am building as you can see in my avatar. [thats what I look like after a couple hours in the garage]


hobbsy - 17/2/07 at 03:17 PM

Your avatar is freaking me out too. Where did you find it?
