Autoliv, Inc., the worldwide leader in automotive safety systems, has unveiled a patented revolutionary new passenger airbag module that is based on Bernoulli’s Principle and can inflate larger airbags more efficiently as well as reduce development time and cost. Bernoulli’s principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure. Using this principle, Autoliv can leverage pressure differences to add a significant contribution of surrounding air to the inflation of an airbag. Airbag systems help to reduce the severity of injuries caused by impact. Autoliv is the world’s largest producer of airbag systems, modules, and components.
