Watch Bose's incredible electromagnetic car suspension system in action

Bose's new beat - www.cnet.com/news/bose-behind-...
Bose spent years developing the ultimate suspension system that offered a super smooth, magic-carpet like ride. It was a technical success but a commercial flop. See why.

I've read an article about this that said it was considered for ambulances as well as luxury coaches. Speculation on reasons for it not working out included constant high power draw (as it's active it requires current for every oscillation) and also the impact of a power failure, which would presumably result in the unit completely collapsing unless it also were combined with a conventional spring

[@thespexks2565]

Those are 2 very good points. Constant power draw would require upgraded alternator as well as battery making it more expensive on that end, and then on top of that for safety purposes you now also need another suspension incase the power ever stops. A very cool and usefull technology but our battery and power generating tech hasnt caught up to it

It's not a secret or magic. It's a hydraulic suspension system but the fluid inside is magnetic. Changing the strength of the magnetic field acting on the fluid changes the fluid's viscosity almost instantly. An onboard computer is able to adjust the stiffness of the suspension thousands of times per second.

Magnetic suspension has been available in a production car since 2004 (2003 build date) it was only available in the Cadillac XLR then available in others a several years later (MagneRide gen2) as an option I drove a XLR .. The ride was not always super smooth aka Phantom bumps in the road, and if the suspension bottomed out it made a loud noise..... it put heavy ware on the other suspension components i.e tie rods steering rack which cost more $$$$$ to replace. it was then offered in the Tahoe LTz / GMC Yukon Denali 2015 model... it's 400-500$ for each shock when they break.. it was really nice at higher speeds well over 120MPH though on the 210 freeway

@@punker4Real Ah ah ah. The Cadillac MagneRide is totally different from the Bose setup. The Cadillac actively changes the damping ratio in the shock absorbers only. While the Bose is essentially floating on electromagnets that they can increase or decrease the power to change the spring rate thus lifting and lowering the car over the bumps and dips to keep the car body dynamically level.

I've followed this technology (magnetic levitation suspension) since it was first being developed in the 80s. It's stunning that it has not been universally implemented yet. FYI, I actually envisioned the "jumping over objects" effect, well over a decade and a half ago. In fact, I thought it would be incorporated into a VERY long travel suspension, along with some other technologies of my own envisioning, and developed into a cool fleet of trick cars that could be programmed to perform a dramatic dance routine for promotional videos. I won't go into here, the acrobatics that this technology, in concert with other technologies, would enable. But suffice it to say, the "moves" would be QUITE impressive, to say the least. And utterly cool beyond words!

Helper springs on Rally Vehicles aka Dakar Trucks and Rally Cars, have a similar effect to this Bose system to. The newish BMWR1250R has semi electronic suspension which irons out all the bumps but still gives a stable responsive ride, and has a helper spring/piston inside connected between the front of the stressed member engine and the frame to reduce metal fatigue and reduce unsprung mass, to also decrease vibration, and bring a better quality of comfort to the rider 👌😁

[@MrIvanV28]

I believe I’ve seen this video about 20 something years ago. Would be nice to see this type of suspension on a production vehicle in my lifetime.

Citroen achieved something very similar over 60 years ago with the DS. Except it's VERY pillowy and mushy, and leans like crazy, but isolates you from bumps to an unbelievable extent. When it works. Which is rarely.

[@lexusls]

a miniaturized version of this technology from Bose exists in a consumer product which actually did go to market and was sold beginning back in 2010ish... Bose applied the basic principles of this to the suspension seat-base for semi trucks called "Bose Ride" (as opposed to basic air suspension seats traditionally installed in trucks). The manufacturing rights were later purchased by a truck seat manufacturer called Clear Motion

[@alan137]

I don't know the actual details of how much the suspension system costs and weighs, but this new suspension feature is more of a luxury rather than a neccessity. If it's too expensive to integrate, it would mean car manufacturers would have to raise the price of the cars making it less affordable to consumers. Unless you have all the data and the economics concerning this, please don't make such a careless statement.

[@Mabeylater293]

Alan You are a damn visionless moron!

[@bromine3830]

there's a good chance they ditched it due to trends in the car industry A suspension system like this would be expensive, but also make the road have almost no textured feeling, the thing is modern cars are trending to be more sporty, and tactile, so a system like this would go against popular trends (trends that consumers bought into) there's a reason power steering is tuned to give force feedback, and not feel floaty like 70's land yacht, or car designers are making everything angular and aggressive looking, even on slow consumer sedans and SUV's trends might bring magnetic suspension into popularity in the future with luxury cars thought

[@Mabeylater293]

Bromie Sorry but u sound like an idiot. No such thing as “too expensive” with certain cars, and many ultra-luxury cars still have buyers that want smooth, no bump driving with NO ROAD FEEL! The Bose suspension ACTUALLY HANDELED BETTER making your use of the word “sporty” absolutely meaningless. Think, then type.
