ABC TV in Australia has a programme called 'The New Inventors' which as the title sugests is about giving publicity to new Australian inventions :) .
Last week featured a variable rate shock absorber using new technology in which the adjustment valve is a spring.
Seems very simple and supposedly cheaper to manufacture than current shock absorbers.

Probably easier to point you to the web page:

So what do you think, does it have any use in motorsport? Why hasn't someone thought of it before? Will he become rich?
