Last December in compression "Future of Electric Vehicle" or the future of electric cars in San Jose, United States, representatives from the University of Technology Eindhoven, the Netherlands presented the results of research institutions, namely a new type of suspension that works in electromagnetic.
More precisely the right presented suspension is a major component that is we are familiar with sokbreker or shock absorber (shock absorber). Apparently, the development of the university's recent progress and send the results to the international media.
Car test used to test this sokbreker could follow AutoRAI in Amsterdam last week. Meanwhile, the release sent Eindhoven University disclose the full details about this sokbreker. Claims of terebut university, with this sokbreker comfort level and stability of vehicles increased 60 percent.
Active Suspension
Sokbreker is not only working in electromagnetic, are also active. Exactly, also gave a mechanical response when the car drove on the road surface is uneven. Amazingly, its active work is now controlled via computer.
Computers control the suspension based on information received from the accelerometer and other sensors on the vehicle. Based on these data later sokbereker kerjannya set back and only lasted a few seconds.
trully active suspension is not new on the car's suspension. Already many manufacturers who use them. Nevertheless, in a hydraulic system works. Now, researchers from Eindhoven said electromagnetic response capability much nicer. In addition, also dinial ebih safe. Because when vehicles are invited membelik, conditions remain steady and comfortable!
Electric Power Size elektromagnetiki shock absorbers are the same as the conventional type. The system consists of passive spring and an electromagnetic actuator, the control unit and battery. Springs - works quite well - produce kepegasan, while magnets do passive damping. When the battery is worn out, the system works mechanically.
Electricity consumption of 500 watts or semperampat energy required hydraulic suspension. Life time and battery life was assessed will be longer. In fact, the electromagnetic properties can sokbreker digunakn to generate electricity. Explained also by the designers of this sokbreker still continue to develop to get the best performance, among others, increasing energy efficiency.
Further, increasing convenience to reach 60 percent. It was only tested on one wheel and tested by simulation in the laboratory. While the results of tests with the installation on two wheels, more stable again.
Sokbreker is now msih tested. Each wheel is equipped with sokbreker who work on their own. Planned, each suspension unit (sokbreker) can interact or communicate with other units. With this, the coordination of movement is set more precise sbiasa sobreker again.

The New Features of BMW X3
JAKARTA, - After a day given the chance mengakrabi BMW's newest product, the automotive-expert.blogspot.com get the impression, there are some features that are included on the All-New X3 released today are very helpful and allows drivers to operate this SUV.
Also the more luxurious interior and a more cheerful color display or "alive". For example, the xDrive35i, red-brown leather interior (red brown). While diesel beige (chocolate milk).
BMW says this new change makes room for driver and rear passenger relieved. The back seat - middle that can be folded - can also be used to put the needs of the journey, for example minimunan and so forth.
xDdrive35i Two units are tested first xDrive35i and xDrive20d Business.Versi very full and luxurious. The roof is not only equipped with roof rails, as well as glass that can be opened (shifted) so that the passengers and the driver immediately enjoy the fresh air outside the car.
This glass roof can be closed, if the passenger or the driver is not exposed to the scorching sun. To operated by pressing the button located at the front of the ceiling.
To infotaiment and communication, xDrive35i is also more complete than xDrive20 Business. In this version, a Bluetooth connection to work effectively when linked with Android smartphone and iPod Touch, including to play songs. While Bluetooth for phone, the speaker voice sounded very clear.
BMW seems to have prepared a place for the phone again gadjet and trends in the world, namely the iPod and iPhone. Center console, fit for both the Apple product.
xDrive20d Special diesel version, Xdrive20d, specialized version of the Business, the connection only Bluetooth connection facility of communication. This version is not equipped with roof rails and glass roof. But for the xDrive Executive, completeness and feature the same with xDdrive35i. For entertainment, VBMW only put 6 speakers. As for the Executive variants, such as Xdrive35i, using 12 speakers.
Start-Stop New features and very functional to improve the efficiency of fuel consumption is "the Start-Stop" which works automatically. When the speed above 10 km / h and then the car stopped, in a few seconds the engine will die otomatis.Pada instrument panel indicators are shown, dead engine condition.
For the machine back to life, simply by pressing the gas pedal. This is the first automatic transmission in combination with the Start-Stop system. Even so the system can also being nonactive by pressing the button on the side.
Do not worry about the battery runs out or the AC was not functioning when the engine died. So, the temperature increases and energy reserves of the battery down, automatic machines turned on again. In addition, bisal speed is always below 10 km / h, the system does not work (very helpful on a very bad traffic, such as Jakarta).
Explained well, actually X3 already using the mild hybrid system. When the brake is operated, the energy is converted into electricity stored in batteries.
Options
Using a 6-cylinder gasoline engine capable of producing power and torque 306 rpm PS@5.800 Nm@1.200 400 - 5000 rpm. Using direct injection technology with Valvetronic valve.
This version is perfect for those who like speeding because of the steady pull of the machine! While xDrive20d, the choice for those considering an economical operating costs (for companies).
Also the more luxurious interior and a more cheerful color display or "alive". For example, the xDrive35i, red-brown leather interior (red brown). While diesel beige (chocolate milk).
