For over eighty years now, concept cars have spurred fans‘ fantasies at motor shows around the world. From the very first studies to the latest show cars – here is our totally subjective top nine list of the most important, show-stopping concept cars of all time. INTERSECTION GENF/GENEVA 2018 05 ALFA ROMEO CARABO 1968 adikaler Keil: Kaum ein anderes Concept Car hat die Fantasien von Herstellern und Kunden so elek- trisiert wie der Alfa Romeo Carabo von 1968. Mit R seiner rigoros umgesetzten Keilform und 99 Zen- timeter Fahrzeughöhe bricht der giftgrüne Entwurf des Bertone-Designers Marcello Gandini mit den Konventionen der Sportwagenästhetik der 60er-Jahre. • Game changer: almost no other concept car has electrified the fantasies of manufacturers and customers as much as the 1968 Alfa Romeo Carabo: with its radically implemented wedge shape and 99 centimetres of vehicle height, the poisonous green design by Bertone designer Marcello Gandini broke with the conventions of sports car aesthetics in the 1960s.

In den Raketenspitzen waren Radarsensoren eines frühen Aufprallwarnsystems eingebaut, die Türen öffneten sich per Knopfdruck, und das Design-Highlight war die im Kofferraum ver- senkbare Glaskuppel. • A car for the Jetsons: as the final design by General Motors chief stylist Harley J. Earl, the futuristic Cadillac Cyclone was the high and end point of the automo tive space age. Radar sensors from an early crash warning system were installed in the missile tips, the doors opened at the push of a button, and the design highlight was the glass dome, which could be lowered into the trunk. 06 INTERSECTION GENF/GENEVA 2018 CITROËN KARIN 1980 rive like an Egyptian? Mit der Karin-Studie sorgte Citroën auf dem Pariser Autosalon 1980 für Staunen. Das spektakuläre, pyramiden- artige Design brachte es auf eine Dachfläche von gerade mal DIN- D A3-Größe. Im Innenraum des breiten und flachen Concept Cars fanden drei Personen nebeneinander Platz. Ein Bordcomputer lieferte dem Piloten Informationen über Fahrzeug und Straße. • Drive like an Egyptian? With the Karin study, Citroën guaranteed astonishment at the 1980 Paris Motor Show. The radical, pyramid-like design created a roof surface of just A3 size.

    THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO 4 .11. 18 Screenplay by Story by Joe Talbot & Rob Richert Joe Talbot & Jimmie Fails 1 EXT. HP SHIPYARDS / HP BUS STOP - SUNRISE An eight-year-old African-American girl with knockers in her hair stands on a desolate sidewalk behind yellow caution tape. She licks a candy and gazes upwards – spellbound. A man in a hazmat suit glides along the pavement, Darth Vader breaths heaving from his space-mask. He loads pieces of trash and plants into hazardous waste bags. In the distance, more men in hazmats crawl along a decaying dock, collecting various items. The little girl breaks her gaze and begins down the street, running her hand along the caution tape. A voice appears. PREACHER (O.S.) Why they got suits on and we don't? Something is going on right in front of our face. But you stuck on your i-phone, j-phone 12, whatever. Blow up in your hand! You cant Google whats goin’ on right now. They lucky I’m a man of god now. Or I’d suicide bomb this mother-. Tracking with her, we land on a black man in his Sunday best. He stands on a box, shouting at nobody in particular. PREACHER Are ya’ll paying attention?

Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics.

Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1.

School of Mechanical Engineering, REVA University, Bengaluru Abstract: Mono wheel as the name indicates consists of a single wheel. the main principle involved is application of GYROSCOPE. The main aim of Monowheel is that it reduces the space occupied compared to other vehicle and environment friendly.Electrical vehicles can become a key to personal transportation in the environment where atmospheric pollution must be restricted, traffic conjunction is a severe issue and parking space is big concern especially in urban areas. Considering all these issues there is immense necessity of developing the transportation system that will be able to solve these problems. Developing a one-wheeled electric vehicle which has features that can over-come all the problems mentioned above since it has small longitudinal length and low carbon footprint. An electric unicycle is a self-balancing personal transporter with a single wheel. The rider controls the speed by leaning forwards or backwards, and steers by twisting the unit using their feet. The self-balancing mechanism uses gyroscopes and accelerometers in a similar way to that used by the Segway PT.

Vorankommen ist im physischen wie auch im metaphorischen Sinn dem Menschen innewohnend. Der Mensch bewegt sich zuerst auf seinen vier und dann auf seinen zwei Extremitäten, wobei das Herantasten an die Routine und dann auch die routinierte Bewegung selbst immer wieder von Stürzen begleitet ist. Kommt es hierbei nun zu einem Sturz (v.a. in der Ebene), dann sollte solch ein Unfallereignis selten in schwere und kaum in tödliche Verletzungen münden. Dem Menschen freilich ist die Bewegung auf den eigenen Beinen schon immer zu wenig gewesen und die Erfindung des Rades führte zu ungeahnten Möglichkeiten.
