The Bose Suspension In Action
The first thing you need to understand is the suspension doesn't use springs or shock absorbers. The whole thing is linear electric motors on each control arm. (Great huge solenoids) The suspension moves up and down independent of weight or inertia. It works fast enough that it starts to compensate for bumps BEFORE the tires hit the bump.
This system has more in common with a 1965 Impala with hydraulic rams bouncing in a parking lot than a conventional car suspension.
For the most part, it scans the road ahead.
See a dip down? Extend the wheel.
See a bump up? Retract the wheel.
I'm fairly certain the ollie was manually instigated by the driver.
Much like hitting the turbo boost on K.I.T.T. it's just a button and the computer does the jump.
Press button:
Retract the wheels, starting with the front. (to maximize suspension travel)
Push down hard on front, then rear wheels. (Launch car up)
Retract front then rear wheels. (tuck the wheels up)
*car passes over 2x4*
Push down on front, then rear wheels.(ready for touchdown)
*tires hit pavement*
Retract front, then rear, wheels slowly to absorb impact.
I'm very confused by that bit. Was that bunny hop activated by the driver (how?) or autonomous (and again, how)?
World's Simplest Electric Train
Very neat idea!
If you replaced the magnets with a non-magnetic material conductively glued onto the magnet, it would still work. From wikipedia on 'electromechanical solenoid',
Electromechanical solenoids consist of an electromagnetically inductive coil, wound around a movable steel or iron slug (termed the armature). The coil is shaped such that the armature can be moved in and out of the center, altering the coil's inductance and thereby becoming an electromagnet. The armature is used to provide a mechanical force to some mechanism (such as controlling a pneumatic valve). Although typically weak over anything but very short distances, solenoids may be controlled directly by a controller circuit, and thus have very quick reaction times.
The force applied to the armature is proportional to the change in inductance of the coil with respect to the change in position of the armature, and the current flowing through the coil (see Faraday's law of induction). The force applied to the armature will always move the armature in a direction that increases the coil's inductance.

Ron Paul Interviewed by Wolf Blitzer
Makes perfect sense qualm, Rosa Parks (symbol) Paul (another symbol) "Racist" card (label)- hate this sort of bullshit-think for the stink that it is....MG Paul is not one of the scenarios, and like those before him who have tried, he will be used and abused, but not be president-the spiral is always headed towards the solenoidal center, we're simply nearer that center as we go the way of all contrived systems....some break down faster than others.
