Active Suspension Team Week 3

Following the sketch we provided in our previous post. To demonstrate the idea we have included a couple videos as proof of concept. 

Push Rod Suspension:

This video shows how a mechanical push rod suspension is used in a road application. We took this idea and thought it could be adapted to be used in the active suspension for the pod car. The advantages of the push rod suspension system are that they are compact and serviceable.

Four bar Crank Rocker:

This video is to show an example of a crank rocker mechanism. This could be used in a mechatronic system design to level the cabin as it ascends or descends. This system has the advantage of being simple to program and simple to build.
