The Pitcher concept water container features a pitcher, which can produce particular pitch of sound when it is hit that enables the users to determine if the pot is empty or not without opening the lid. The handle of this container is made of metal that works as a tuning bar. When there is no water inside the pitcher, it produces the same tone of the tuning bar when the ball hits on both the body and the handle of the pitcher. On the other hand, when the pitcher is full of water, it generates a higher tone than that of the handle. This eco-friendly product would be very much helpful for blind people who can rely on the sound to determine the inside water level.

This Electropositive three wheeler concept vehicle was derived from the need of a personal electric vehicle for urban transportation. It features a brushless electric motor in every wheel which acts as a generator also when braking. The body panels of this superb vehicle are made of photovoltaic transparent polycarbonate and carbon fiber “exoskeleton”. Normally, this is a single-seater vehicle but the luggage compartment behind the driver can easily accommodate a passenger if needed. When it’s time to lean, the driver can drag the handlebar towards him, so an electro-hydraulic servo will elevate the center of gravity of the vehicle by working on the piston that attaches the swing arm. Releasing the handlebar will stabilize the vehicle by reducing center of gravity.

R.A.P.P.A (Rapid Area Petrol & Pursuit Avant-Guard) is a concept highway patrol vehicle that is specially designed for the future petrol police.

To accommodate this movement, the rear part would swivel, while the front would stay put. The front lights and the front glass of the cockpit include the police lights that stick out like the front ram bar. There is another mode when the petrol car has apprehended the target, keeping certain lights on and other more energy consuming lights off. The entry and exit of the driver is designed through the front side of the cockpit, which also approaches the warning sign as a police vehicle.
