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.

New Diesel Engine from Mitsubishi
automotive-expert.blogspot.com - mitsubishi motor indonesia has launched a new diesel engine DI-D Hi-Power-capacity 2.5-liter DOHC 16-valve Cammon Rail Direct Injection Technology that uses a Variable Geometry (VGT).
Later, the heart of this runway will be a mainstay for the new Pajero Sport. What are the advantages of the new engine with VGT it? Although the capacity is still the same, but the maximum power that the original PS 136, after the VGT increased to 176 PS. Remarkably, this machine is capable of providing maximum power at any engine speed range (RPM).
"We will use this new machine as soon as possible and now this for a sport utility vehicle (SUV) and the subsequent new models of others," said Rizwan Alamsjah Marketing Director at Head Office KTB KTB, Pulo Mas, East Jakarta, today (15 / 4). Unfortunately, Rizwan still not willing to explain further when and other models are prepared.
But, one thing is sure KTB, this machine will be a new choice. This means that Indonesia will likely Mitsubishi Pajero Sport wear it on that reportedly launched this year. When asked the possibility was launched at the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) in June 2011, Rizwan replied, "God willing, coming soon anyway." How to work VGT? At low to medium rpm, the fins on the VGT are automatically moved to close so that the exhaust gas passage narrows, causing the turbine spin faster. Unlike non-VGT turbo.
The volume of flue gas moves into the aisle a little wider so that the air velocity decreases and makes turns the turbine is reduced. Tip, turbo less than the maximum. When in high speed, the volume of waste gas will be solid so that the fins VGT move enlarges and reduces exhaust back pressure and keep the turbine speed. That is, with the same base engine produced more power, better emissions control, burning cleaner and more refined engine sound.
