Bose suspension system

Bose Suspension System - air suspension alternative, with better performance. This suspension is a linear electric motor and a computer. When the Bose suspension hits a hole, the motor pulls out the shock absorber, so the car doesn't fall through. When the car exits the pit, the motor reduces the output of the shock absorber thanks to a booster. Due to electromagnets, the reaction rate is much higher than the pneumatic analogue.

Another advantage is that this system has the possibility of recuperation, thanks to which you can significantly save energy consumption. Thus, the Bose suspension requires less than thirty percent of the energy consumed by a conventional car air conditioner. Surprisingly, this approach allows the car to jump over low obstacles.
There are reasons why this technology has not become popular. The mass of this system is ~ 150 kg and the price is much higher than the pneumatic system.
