ARAC ZXS Concept

The ARAC ZXS motorcycle is quite unlike any other road-going motorcycle, combining new body design, with ultra light aluminum chassis and powerful and massive fuel-injected v-twin motor. All combined gives a whole new sight – a machine distinctive by its look and performances.

What also makes it so distinct is the package –that is comparing with others in class of so called "street fighters", quite smaller and lighter even though it carries the biggest motor.

Designer : Marko Petrovic

It's smaller but very dynamic and esthetically very aggressive, with sharp lines and curves surrounding the engine compartment. The idea was to create a body design that naturally continues through the whole frame giving the impression of a metal skin with two tone-color (in this case black and fire orange). The seating area is also quite large providing better comfort, and it ends with a thinner tail carrying back light. Front light –head is also unique in its pure form and the new technology used – it's a light emitting glass plates that gives a beautiful and clear-understanding light. It is recycled and uses less of energy.

Additional smart feature is so called "safe drive" system that can be turned on an off – how it's desired. It is consisted of an integrated sensor that tracks and notes speed and distance from other vehicles around. So if on it automatically control the speed and keeps it under "safe zone" through its connection to specially designed brake system, not allowing super speeds– useful feature for city drive. But for outside crowded city since it's optional, it can be turned off so the driver can fully experience the power of ARAC ZXS Motorcycle.

Zipper Flying Spy Cam

The Zipper is a flying indoor camera and recording device that can be used in a number of scenarios. The device uses the principle of gas balloons and combines it with the wit of propellers driven by a precision electric motor. Basically the hovering camera moves around a room very fast and silently and doesn't consume much energy.

Application fields:

Film productions: unrestricted camera work
Surveillance: flexible monitoring of public locations like department stores, train stations, etc.
Security: video inspection in hard to access places like cable chutes and sewers
Private: webcam, babysitting, etc. or as a toy
Further recording options (sound, heat and radio activity) are possible with the matching sensors

Two precision electric motors with propellers that are controlled via a processor allow horizontal movements. The alignment angle of the electric motors can also be controlled magnetically via the processor so that the Zipper is able to change its height flexibly and fast with these motors. The camera can be panned by 270 degrees, which allows different perspective also in standstill. Zipper can design recordings through different camera perspectives very dynamically and flexibly, which results in completely new possibilities in camera work. This means that the director can determine the motion path and speed of the camera beforehand three-dimensionally without having to deal with any restrictions or obstacles in the room. This allows novel and free design when changing scenes and perspectives. The motion path and speed can be set either beforehand in a 3D program or in realtime and interactively via joystick or remote control. The recorded images and further information are transmitted parallel, directly and wireless to other devices like computers or smartphones.

Function mode:

Zipper uses hydrogen as gas in order to float in the air like a balloon. The required gas quantity is controlled exactly via a processor using measurement and control technology so that the Zipper is always located at the desired height.

Water Electrolysis:

A charging station supplies the Zipper with energy and hydrogen. In doing so, water molecules are split into oxygen and hydrogen by means of electrolysis. The additionally generated oxygen is released into the air and ensures a good room climate. The charging station is supplied via low-voltage direct current and must only be refilled with water occasionally.

Zipper is a 2012 red dot award: design concept winner.
