My shock absorber invention
Well its not really an invention, just an idea I had a couple years ago.
If I'm not mistaken, current shock absorbers use gas or air to absorb the bumps in the road. Well I had an idea to use two big opposing electromagnets instead of gas or air. If the magnets were powerful enough, they would never touch thus providing a very smooth ride. If huge magnets would be required making it impractical, then put some of the conventional gas systems in between the magnets to help absorb the shock. I don't know just an idea, maybe I'm crazy. Oh, by the way, two months after I had this idea I see that some company has some prototype of a similar design idea in popsci. Go figure. |
