And when you have these fewer points, the geometry of the chassis becomes easier, the material content of the chassis becomes easier, therefore the chassis becomes lighter.And the whole thing is a virtuous circle.
By applying a voltage across the crystal, they contract slightly, but only around 0.1%, not nearly enough of a deflection to make a robot fly. So roboticists designed a chassis that mechanically amplifies the motion 30 times. If you then turn the voltage on and off 120 times per second, the RoboBee flaps its wings and flies.
brand new car just off the production line, uh this was the highest price ever. Now, this luch had was designated as a chassis zero, meaning it's the first of its kind of this new series of electric vehicles that Ferrari is unveiling. So, it was quite surprising that it sold for this amount of money.
The market determines the price that it will pay. That's the chassis . Here's the sting.
And to me, the most efficient, non-hybrid, gasoline-burning car to-date is the 1992 General Motors Ultralight, with a carbon fiber chassis , designed and built by the winner of the first X Prize, . It was a car built, cost no object, and it was a car built at the direction of General Motors management, that was
And the whole thing is a virtuous circle. If the chassis is lighter, my brakes are smaller, my engine is smaller, my transmission is smaller, and it goes on and on and on. This suspension is a product that we believe has a lot of value, and we're actually going to launch a new company
Whether it becomes that we become a division of somebody or own car company remains to be seen. A Very Light Car chassis today weighs less than 100 pounds.
it that would you know was a hybrid car you know but it was they hadn't figured out how to package it and in the same you know chassis you know basically but so what happened was that the electric car was rolled out in California and people had a chance to buy these cars or
You know, there are some famous examples of horders whose homes got so filled with crap that they actually died from it. There's a famous brother -- the Collyer brothers They found the chassis of a car in the basement. It was just, anything that they found on the street they would bring home. And one of them was finally killed when a
while still being premium... This is a full CNC aluminum chassis . That feels great. It hides fingerprints about as well as it possibly could.
So the aging question we explored and talked-- helped you think through this phenomenon of zombie cells And once we have the chassis that allows us to do global upgrades in an organism, if it can be achieved, we're going
Others, untouched by the fires, yielded the smoke of the chemical reaction. He was there to drop off chassis panels, nuts, and screws made in Ampex's factory. And these subcontracted workers dipped the unfinished alloys in their vats.
And he shows movies of what's going on in the back lot. And there was a little chassis of a car. No body. And I thought, you don't suppose they need a body on a little car, and I'm a body designer?
And by putting the suspension inside the wheel, we drive it down to a single connection point, which then feeds four main connection points for the chassis . Four connection points in the chassis is much less complicated than the 16 or 20 you would find in a typical car.

" I said, "Look believe it or not, for some reason, I was not I didn't bounce off the bus. I was taken under the chassis of the bus Presenter: You were basically crushed. Matt: Crushed. Presenter: I'm going to read off some of the injuries.
And famously, one of those two labs that you were talking about, the Sample Analysis at Mars, or SAM instrument, I think was Rick Welch who pointed out that that instrument alone is larger than the entire chassis of the Mars exploration Rovers. That's right, yeah. And it's big.
And then the integrated avionics unit. The integrated avionics unit is a 3U compact PCI chassis . But it's designed for flight.
It was Henry Ford's vision of how to put people, make America a mobile automotive society. And it had interchangeable parts and very flexible chassis that could go anywhere. I mean, the roads in that day were even worse than the roads of today, I might add.
And you can see in his video there's not just one, but two motors that are doing all the opening and closing of the phone. And then there's these like three spring-loaded arms pushing the whole chassis over to the side while it unrolls. It's wild! I'll link his video below.
I have a feeling that inside Toyota, there is every bit as much going on. This Toyota that I photographed in Geneva had a very thin-walled steel chassis tubing frame filled with foam. It had a center spine.
Maybe somewhere like Mercedes, up to 1,200 people on the chassis and maybe another 800 people or so on the engine side.
So what, does Chrysler maintain a test bed of 200 chassis for vulnerability testing and for patch testing?
I think that might be the size of the entire first Rover that we sent, Sojourner. It's like SAM is the size of Sojourner, bigger than the chassis of the Mars exploration Rovers. So you did an enormous amount of research.
but again this is the one-year activity and starting to build the system together the chassis Bones on each side
Four connection points in the chassis is much less complicated than the 16 or 20 you would find in a typical car. And when you have these fewer points, the geometry of the chassis becomes easier, the material content of the chassis becomes easier, therefore the chassis becomes lighter.
If you build a car out of conventional materials, you can keep those numbers. An expensive car, let's say an Audi with an aluminum chassis might cost $20 a pound. When you bring the car down to 1,300 pounds with full content, it stands to reason that it's going to cost less money.
Because a molded part can take many, many functions into one part. And one thing that's interesting here, this is one of our development chassis , if you look at it, that's a full drive-line equipped chassis . And look at the front bumper and the rear bumper and you see all this empty space.
But in about the 2007 or 2006 time frame, there was going to be something based on the chassis
last year, a bunch of guys made this thing called al-Shams, which is their lightweight tank that has many mono chassis .
that will only promote the suspension. Which, in our opinion, can take about 200 pounds off any existing car simply by redirecting its chassis requirements, and add a flat floor, which gives you an aerodynamic benefit and gives you additional space under the hood and in the trunk.
I had to think about even taking a step. The toughest part about it was when a bus went by and I'd be standing on the corner looking at that 8-inch space between the chassis and the street and go how the hell did I get
OK? It came out in the early 1930s. Ironically, the Beetle, and later the Microbus, which was developed right after World War II, but it really had the same, has the same underlying vehicular architecture, same chassis as the Beetle. The Beetle was Hitler's car.
