NULL The electric and super-compact design car

The electric and super-compact design car of the future, beautiful and futuristic design by Jeongche Yoon. This is the Null, a mobile widget concept for next generation EV (Electric Vehicle) has been designed as solution to save energy and space. Inspired by smart phone industry based on the open-source marketing of app store, this is more like hardware that you put on your car to make it do more.

This is exciting new opportunities for automobile industry to establish a clean and creative design for the future society.

Speaker Bulb Lamp



The future human always want simplicity, this is a very unique design of a bulb that can give 

voice or music (speaker). Wireless speakers are there as are light bulbs, so you basically put 
them together in a rather sophisticated way, citing technological advances as your friend. Wireless speakers streaming music all over the place with the shimmy of disco lights; sounds eccentric!
Apparently the parts of the SoundBulb are replaceable and can be upgraded from time to time. 


The question is? How about heat factor,after all bulbs do produce a lot of heat and could be damaging 
to the speakers.

MP3 Player Design


Nice gesign for your MP3 player, you want to enjoy your audio CDs while traveling but you also have a huge MP3 collection at home that you want to take with you. The ideal solution? DMP, a portable music player that supports CD and MP3 files. Use the MP3 player as you normally would, hang it around your neck, clip it on your jeans or place it in your pocket. Otherwise open both sides and insert your favorite CD and you got yourself a CD player my friend. Now that’s music to my ears. 




Citroen Funky New Design


The day is here, the GTbyCitroen has got over its shyness and is ready to be seen by the world. Par for the French, the GT is funky -- and we're not even going to get into the seventh teaser for the car in which the car was completely covered. Contrary to the rakishness of its looks, it's also fairly slow. The 3,000-pound two-seater takes a virtual 3.6 seconds to get to a virtual 62 mph, and that's with a 646 digital ponies boosted by an additional 136 hydrogen-powered horses. As for the design, if you're wondering what that rear overhang is about, the phrase you're looking for is "retinal persistence.

Imagine The Car


For his masters diploma project conducted in Citroen’s Design Center (ADN), designer Antonin Maire D’Eglise set out to really break some new ground with his C-BIONIC concept. The hypothesis of the project is that in the near future, mankind will have depleted the natural resources so heavily relied upon in the automotive industry. This will lead way to a second renaissance, where de-materialization and genetic science will be used as building blocks in a more humanistic and poetic world.

 

A genetically modified tree is used as the chassis of the vehicle, and the rest of the body is made from highly biodegradable materials. The tree was chosen not just as a symbol of environmental conscience, but because it would require little engineering, and it is renewable. Ironically, instead of creating pollution the tree absorbs carbon dioxide and emits oxygen. Each C-BIONIC has been designed to have a minimal material loss lifecycle of just 3 years, after which it returns to the earth. The only part salvaged is the electric engine which is reused in the next vehicle.

Auto designers have been toying with the idea of three-wheeled transports for some time now and this latest concept by Higgins-Aubé called ENERGYA is pretty much another attempt at it. This side-by-side two seater is legally considered in most jurisdictions a “motorcycle”, eliminating most of the mandatory automobile systems and components that weigh down and increase the price of regular 4-wheeled automobiles. Higgins-Aubé call this segment bender a “motomobile”, and have fitted it with a hefty (200 HP) motorcycle engine powering the single rear wheel. Future(future) designs will see an all-electric drivetrain that will take all the vroom vroom out and replace it with pssshh psshhh.

Ride in the nigth




Like to ride your bike after the sun sets? Confused as to why trucks don’t seem to notice your pleads for attention and keep slamming your bones around the city streets? Well if you like life and don’t want to die while cruising down the avenues after dark, this bike design by Rudi Moosmeier called “Tong City Bike” just might be all the vehicular enlightenment you’ll need. The designer’s concerns for your safety have manifested in this brilliant (pun intended) bike design that is not only low maintenance, but also safe and secure. The low maintenance aspect is in the all-in-one housing for the brake system, drivetrain, shock absorbers and gears. The safe aspect comes from the use of integrated light tubes that can be customized to any color you desire, making you a more obvious target. Last but not least, this rolling rig even comes with a mini lockable safe, for storing your mobile phone, wallet, light saber or Batphones.

Peugeot Dauphin



Peugeot Dauphin is a pure electric vehicle. It can be charged at home just like a cellular phone and the full charge takes just a little over six hours. For recharging just drive the Peugeot Dauphin for top of the Dock/ Recharging Station. The Peugeot Dauphin was designed/ created to be a smart vehicle with a high rate cost efficient and not to harm by any way the environment. An Electric vehicle with two magnetic motors designed to run almost noiselessly for as far as 300 kilometers on one charge. The electric motors are housed inside the vehicle rear wheels. Two Magnetic motors which are hybrid between electromagnets and permanent magnets.

The Dauphin was designed to reach up speeds of 150 kilometers per hour. The reason which the vehicle is to be build with composite materials, carbon staple fibers with matrixes of bismaleimid and Epoxi resin. To guarantee high performances and safety standards with a very low weight structure. The Dauphin communicates wirelessly with your home computer ( internet server ), and you can receive information when ever you need it, maps, directions, phone calls… see it in dauphin incorporated wind-shield monitor and interact with it with the joystick / steering wheel special buttons

Amphibious Kick Scooter



Amphibious kick scooter - one that functions as a electric kick scooter on land and a propulsion aid in water. The designing of this product across two very different environment gave rise to alot of difficulties as well as opportunities. The product is designed to maximise user experiences through a few design approaches. On land it functions as a normal electric kick scooter with 2 hub motors housed within the wheels itself. In water it acts as a propulsion aid as the propellers attached wheels pushes water out in one singular direction and thus propelling the product across water.
