Magnetic active suspension

There is already semi active suspension system on the market (adapts the damping by changing viscosity)
Audi's new magnetic semi-active suspension system

And the active one - linear electromagnetic motor is installed at each wheel of a vehicle equipped with a Bose system. The control algorithms operate by observing sensor measurements taken from around the car and sending commands to the motors.

My offer probably not better, however may inspire something more:


The idea is similar to Bose system, but instead of circle magnets (linear motor magnets) here are the narrow coils (or coil in coil for stronger power). I assume that such direction can be more efficient (not sure). The
internal part 1 has channel for liquid to work as basic mechanical in emergency. The first layer of coils 2 work as stator or base for internal one. The second circle of coils form another base - now for the first one, creating folding cup like model saving the vertical space.
The number of coils in a circle may be more than 4. They not only support the vertical movement, but rotate the axle - that could be useful for cars with minimum curve radius (bus, forklift...)
