How luxury cars like Rolls Royce isolate the passengers and the car body from engine and transmitter vibrations, to the point that you can balance a coin on the hood of the car and it’s not going to flip over.
In: Engineering
They use rubber bushings to isolate anything that makes vibrations from the body. The engine, transmission, differential, tires, etc.
At the highest end like RR, the bushings aren’t just regular rubber, it’s a special compound that’s optimized to absorb vibrations.
The other thing is, companies like RR go well out of their way to reduce or eliminate vibrations from existing in the first place by ensuring perfect balance on parts. Their engines are balanced so well that you can balance a coin not just on the hood of the car, but directly on the engine itself, because it simply isn’t vibrating in the first place.
