I wonder if newer high end linear motors are light enough to try again. It seems like a great idea if it doesn't suck too much juice and is light enough to be comparable or better than normal spring/shock setups.
I love that it's pro-active rather than re-active.
This reminds me of the ferrofluid shock absorbers now available on many higher end cars and even a few military vehicles. Apparently they make an enormous difference in ride and control.

Check that crap out, ferrofluid mirror potential! What I wonder is are the optical properties of liquid metal any good. For instance, they are using gold in the James Webb telescope because it reflects nearly all infrared light. What would the optical quality of these metals be? Sometime tells me polished glass structures would be both higher resolution and use materials that are optimized to reflect the spectrum you are interested in. The Wiki seems to indicate the real advantage isn't in the optical quality, but the relative inexpensive in creation. Much like paying a hooker for 5 years of polishing your nob, polishing a mirror is costly.
