New Audi TT - Magnetic Ride

[greatwhitenorth112]

i thought of this when i was like 5 when i was playing with magnets

I was on of several ride engineers to work on this and what a pain in the a@s to tune. The controllers have slight differences for prouction so some cars with the same cal feel different. Warranty period is also a problem. On limit does not feel natural with all the filtering going on.

@Plot2000: I' m thinking about to buy used car - S3 Sportback. One car of 2, has this magnetic ride, no any other differency. And as I'm reading your opinion: Would you buy a car With or Without magnetic ride ?? Thanks for any answer, Plot2000. Thanks for any answer in advance.

@gaddyify

Delphi Automotive Systems, GM just used, as Ferrari, Audi, and now more companies.

@gaddyify gm is bullshit

Current passes thru a coil of wires, creating a magnetic field to which the particles (most likely containing iron) react to and line up with the field lines perpendicular to the dirrection of fluid flow, increasing the overall shear stress of the fluid. The only draw back is that the fluid is abbrasive over time, it reacts slower then electrorheological (ER) fluid does and looses its stability or controllability over time due to the particles becoming perminently magnetized. ERF will take over.
