Automatic Roadside Hydraulic System By: Michael Ziolek
Problem If your car has a deflated or popped tire, you must change the tire on the side of the road. Which requires you to get out a jack and lift the car while in the danger of cars driving by on the road.
This new system introduces low cost automatic jacks installed underneath the car, which can be powered electrically through the car's electrical supply or an emergency power supply. Solution
Points Low Cost Automatic, better for older people Dramatically cuts down the time required for you to be out in the road changing the tire Lifts the car in a matter of seconds
Costs Low cost, and easy to make with a simple pneumatic or hydraulic pump design with a electrical switch system.
