ZF & Levant Power Genshock
ZF & Levant
Developed by MIT students, Genshock is the first active suspension system that generates energy from bumps in the road. Each shock absorber houses a compact electric motor, electronic control unit, and electrohydraulic gear pump. When a car drives over a rough surface, the moving shock absorbers generate electricity that helps power the car’s electrical systems. Genshock, which is still just a prototype, has another advantage: It can lift individual wheels off the ground, allowing for jack-less tire changes. Price not set
