BOSE Linear Electromagnetic Suspension

I was reading an article about suspension and came across Bose's Linear Electromagnetic Suspension (LEMS). First off, the fact that it's being developed by Bose was a shocker enough, or so I thought. When I saw the videos of what this type of suspension can do, I'm thinking to myself: it's only a matter of time before it can execute Knight Rider style "turbo-boost" leaps and "ski-mode." One thing a horse could do that a car can't is jump. Well that's about to change! =D> :D :lol: It would also make hydraulic suspensions used by the lowrider crowd a thing of the past and it will work with normal sized tires too! Oh yeah, let me not forget the primary purpose of this suspension: hella smoother ride despite obstacles and road imperfections (Lord knows I need this here in Philly) and the perfect balance of comfort and sports handling. However their current prototypes add 100 pounds of vehicle weight so it can't be too good for gas mileage. Maybe it's being made with ferrous magnets now. Neodymium could probably be the solution. After all, it is what made headphones lighter. :wink:
