The shocks are a very important part of any car because it offers a comfortable ride, no matter where you want to go. Well, the tinkerer in Cambridge, Mass.-based Rising Power have a new form of shock absorbers, which is known to lower fuel consumption by 1.5% to 6% depending on the type of vehicle it will be applied and developed in relation to behavior. Not only that new shock absorber system announced to improve the driving behavior that give Motorhead much value on performance. Otherwise, distinguishes this damper system is different from the rest of the market is taking its ability to take advantage of the potholes – assuming you could not help it in time, it will be able to reverse the situation in your favor, turning the into vibration and harshness on rough roads electricity.

Levant already running demonstrations of its technology in road tests with a Humvee, and they hope to expand testing in trucks, buses and other vehicles in yet this summer. The shocks do not look out of place at all, with almost the classics from the outside, but it is a power cord that comes to an end. It can be retro-actively fitted to vehicles in the ordinary mechanic, and to the device, the power management system will also manage power from other sources, including connected brake systems, thermoelectric devices waste heat into electricity or solar cells. All juices are then in the electrical system of the car, which sent reduces the amount of load on the alternator.

Like a conventional shock absorber, the technology relies on a piston moving in Rising oil to calm the motion. Rising improved on this idea with the help of a modified piston head, closes Parts rotate as it moves through the oil, which in turn placed a small generator inside the door. A power controller is based on information from accelerometers and other sensors are based on the resistance to change from the generator, creating a better handling thanks to the automatic stiffening and softening of the suspension. The company currently has no plans to manufacture the technology itself, but I prefer to establish a licensed manufacturer or a joint venture.
