think hi level rally cars...
when a car crests a hill say, goes airborne then lands w/ full compression, what exactly is going on that allows a properly set up car to compress so violently yet it rebounds under full control in one movt , and continues to power on w/ no loss in composure from the violent compression/rebound?
It's all about damping the motion just right. Forget rally cars, think trophy trucks. This is what it takes to absorb and dissipate the energy (heat) of one of those things flying through the air, both on compression and then rebound. You have to be able to displace obscene volumes of fluid quickly at a very specific rate depending on the force (which has to be tuned specifically for different parts of the range, not just a linear rate - each one of those little pipes is valved for a specific scenario), and cool it sufficiently.
