Migaloo Private Submersible Yacht Concept

Christian Gumpold and Christopher Gloning, both are managing directors of Motion Code: Blue, had an idea to transform well known and tested shape of our current submarine designs to a private yacht. So, basically, they are trying to design luxury super yacht while still has the benefit to submerge the whole vessel to travel in secret and totally private. 

Project MIGALOO is named after the world's only albino humpback whale that travels up and down the east coast of Australia. First sighted in 1991, and believed to be three to five years old at that time, the whale was named "migaloo" as an indigenous Australian word for "white fella".

Mobility Hybrid Concept Car

This project is called Mobility Hybrid Concept Car, a 2-seater compact hybrid vehicle with spacious cabin where you can keep 2 collapsible pedelecs or pedal electric bikes under the boot. The batteries of these bikes can be charged in the car or a socket outlet, the bike and the car feature common design lines that reflect they are hybrids.

The main goal by integrating pedelecs in the car is to provide higher individual mobility allowing you to easily adapt to traffic in the city or countryside. Commuters can easily park their cars somewhere outskirts of the city and then continue their journey with pedelecs, avoiding rush hour traffic and parking space problem at the city center. Instead of using public transport, you would enjoy riding your bike while exploring the city.

Powered by a hybrid engine, this car offers small yet spacious cabin. The ability to store 2 collapsible pedelecs doesn't sacrifice the storage space for your luggage. When you driving the car at high speed, the electric engine turns off and the combustion engine turns on. The car's front and headlights change color based on the power mode: electric or fuel mode.

Aston Martin CC100 Speedster

Aston Martin CC100 Speedster is unique and visionary concept car as part Aston Martin's celebration of its 100 years of achievement in bringing you sporting heritage and exceptional design. A stunning concept car that boasts resemblance with the legendary 1959 Le Mans and Nürburgring winning race car DBR1, enhanced with futuristic look shaped from same advanced materials and expert engineering.

It took only 6 months to design and construct this car, it represents great example of Aston Martin flexibility, cutting-edge technology, and consistent passion and futuristic vision set out by their design team. It boasts 6.0-liter V12 engine with automated sequential manual gearbox, it can also be a hint of potential future design direction of the company. The brief of this project was simple, but it took enormous testing to finally come up with something that reflect the 100 years of Aston Martin heritage and at the same time, signaling the future direction of the brand.

Designer: Aston Martin

Aston Martin CC100 Speedster measures 4,5-meter from nose to tail and more than 2-meter wide, the body represents classic example of infinitely flexible nature of Aston Martin's trademark. The body and interior were crafted from carbon fiber, it utilizes latest generation AM11 naturally aspirated V12 gasoline engine combined with a 6-speed hydraulically automated sequential manual transmission. The drivetrain powers CC100 from 0 to 60mph only in 4 seconds and the top speed is limited to 180mph.

Mercedes-Benz F1 Giuseppe

This bizarre (and awesome!) concept car might look outlandish with its exaggerated proportions, odd stance, and overall indulgent aesthetic… but then again, I just described every other Mercedes too! But the Mercedes Giuseppe is dfferent- it's an F1 racing machine that, over-the-top as it looks, was designed in every detail to minimize air resistance. With independent winged front arms that adjust width and a flexible body that changes with the track, this thing wants to do one thing… WIN.

Designer: Jaemin Park

MKS-1 SLS Multifunctional Space Launch System

MKS-1 SLS Multifunctional Space Launch System, just like its name suggests, it can be used to launch wide variety space rockets. You probably can guess the designer behind this project, yes, the one and only, our friend, Oscar Viñals. You can read his explanations about his latest project below:

Currently/Today, the only way that we know to launch Vehicles or "payload" into Space or at Low earth orbit (suborbital), is using a Rocket which takes off from land place and reaches the pre-selected "objective". Depending on their "payload" specifications, it is necessary to use a Rocket with special size and features.

The MKS-1 SLS is a concept plane with multifunctional uses, designed like a "Launch-Support" for many different Space Rockets or Special Space & Suborbital vehicles; thought to reach their objectives, decreasing today's costs for launching into Space, these "payloads" with smaller Rockets and lesser fuel, and minimizing the non-reusable parts.

Versatile, adaptable for special Ovi's rocket (equipped with supersonic wings, all controlled by Intelligent Flight Control System (IFCS)) with NASA's CM (Crew Module), NASA's Ares I evo rocket (with "special wings"), ESA's Vega evo rocket (with "special wings"), NASA's X-43a experimental vehicle with "special rocket", Aurora SR-91 experimental vehicle, REL's (Reactions Engines Limited) Skylon experimental vehicle, XLDron M Gravity mass Space Tourism and more potentials "payloads".

It would have a high carry up capacity and thanks to a special support system with configurable anchorages, over guide rails on top of the fuselage, adaptable for many different types of "payloads". Built with ultra-resistant advanced Composite materials (carbon laminate, carbon sandwich, activated carbon, aluminum, titanium, and more…) capable to resist big fatigue, stress and "mechanic efforts"; all of this with a low density and in some sections from the plane these would have the extra-capacity to resist highest temperatures.

The MKS-1 SLS would have an auto-generator electric energy system from heat energy conversion and from combustion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) -also used for turbofan engines mixed with conventional combustible-; to keep the avionic systems and the rocket's combustible temperature in optimal conditions. It also would have a Hyper lift mechanical system -HLMS- to create a dynamic air flow controlled by fly-by-wire system (FBW) and aircraft-computers to prevent a possible stall situation.

Equipped with 11 future Next-Gen's plane engines, 8 ultra high bypass turbofan engines -UHB- localized on the wings structure in double units (B-52 Stratofortress) and 3 engines with adaptive versatile engine technology -ADVENT-localized under fuselage structure in central disposition, used only at takeoff maneuver and in the "detaching phase" like an extra-thrust to reach the right altitude (45,000-50,000 ft).
