Abstract
An active, independent suspension system has dual piston, compressible fluid struts (). Each of the dual piston struts () has an outer cylinder () and an outer piston rod (), which each respectively define exterior peripheries for an outer pressure chamber () and an inner pressure chamber (). Pressures applied to a compressible fluid () in respective ones of the outer and inner pressure chambers () urge the outer piston to extend from within the outer cylinder (). A control system () is provided for actively controlling an amount of compressible fluid () disposed within each of the outer and inner chambers ().
