Sir why not pitch an idea to Atoy to work on something or sa ibang nagmomodify ng car. Baka you can make more money there

thanks for the concern sir... but If you are addressing the suggestion to me... I am sorry... but I am only exclusively giving the Tsikot core Design Group the say for that.

The designs I am posting here is my contribution for the development of the Pinoy (OPV's)...

Right now - I can only contribute that much since I am already working abroad as ... a car designer. I am seeing to it that the designs I posted here are in no conflict with the designs I am making for my present company since the market is completely different and the models are completely distinct.

The designs you are seeing are actually being implemented as we speak by some of our core team. It is best to course with them thru PM any business possibilities you have in mind. Moreover, nagsimula lang talaga sa parang katuwaan itong thread ng pag de design ng Original Pinoy Vehicle... medyo nagkwilihan na... ayan - sineryoso na tuloy ng karamihan.

anyway, it is good that you are concerned about it. PM Dprox and Architect.

Thanks for the insight and wisdom sir ehnriko...

[ehnriko]

You're most welcome Drey...by the way, when I was your age, I keep doodling cars whenever I am not doing anything... perhaps this kept me busy and has kept the devil away. Idle hands are the devils workshop kasi...

Hello and welcome to tsikot.com, designer283.
Hindi naman nag-aaply ang mga nagpopost dito. Kung babasahin mong mabuti ang layunin ng Forum na ito, binibigyan lang ng pagkakataon at layaw ang sinumang may hilig magdrowing ng anumang tsikot. This is basically an outlet for wannabes (although some of us have actually fabricated our own designs). Kahit bata pa man din ay welcome magpost. You yourself are welcome to post, if you like. Just choose the right thread. Ang tanging bawal dito ay ang pagsulat ng parang txt msg at ang flame-baiting.

Hindi naman ata maganda yung bumanat sa mga nangangarap, porke ikaw ay magaling na at bihasa sa disenyo. O kapapasok mo pa lang sa tsikot.com. If I may suggest, please read the Tsikot.com User Rules & Regulations.
Again, welcome.

I met Atoy and his colleagues in a "you design we execute" seminar they hosted 3 years back in a Megatrade car show. But they were more into fiberglass aftermarket items - ie, how to make foreign cars look prettier. So I made a strong pitch for them to design an entire car from scratch. They said they were moving towards that direction. We've not been in touch since, but Tsikot is open to any and all interested parties, basta maitaguyod ang "OPV" (Original Pilipino Vehicles). Thank you for the suggestion, Kap.

Designer283,

Welcome to tsikot! Please dont use text typing. My head and eyes ache kasi... Please do post your designs/suggestions. Sabi nga ni sir Ehnriko, designs are the outlet of the soul.

Happy posting sir!

Greenbox Turns Carbon Dioxide Into Biodiesel



With the billions of dollars being pumped into research every year, is it possible that the auto-emissions problem could have been solved by a trio of fisherman in Wales? It's possible. Three fishing buddies (who also happen to be organic chemists and engineers) have developed what they call the "Greenbox," a device that basically neutralizes harmful emissions when attached to a vehicle.

It works by trapping the offending chemicals before they manage to get out the exhaust pipe. The box is removed when full, basically whenever the car is filled up, and replaced with a fresh one. It's then sent to a bioreactor, full of carbon dioxide in its inert state, to be fed to algae and converted into biodiesel. That diesel can then be pumped right back into vehicles. It sounds like a pretty amazing system, and tests have shown it working at 85-95% efficiency. The fishing buddies are in talks with companies such as Toyota and GM, so hopefully we'll see something like this become a widespread reality sooner rather than later. [Reuters]

PS dprox, not sure if this belongs in this thread. Kindly move if necessary. Thanks.

It's not a whole concept car, but a concept nonetheless that can be applied to many cars.
We'll keep it here until someone starts a dedicated thread on green cars.

[SIZE=2]Relief from Pump Prices[/SIZE] [SIZE=2]Norkis Privacy[/SIZE] [SIZE=2]by Dino Directo, III[/SIZE] [SIZE=2]
Norkis offers a small solution[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2] When I narrated my experience to Norkis-Yamaha EVP Manuel Gaspar “Boy” Albos during a call at his office recently, he told me that Norkis might just have an alternative to the rising cost of fuel.
[/SIZE][SIZE=2]For starters, the Privacy is a sub-compact 660cc Japanese kei (small) economy car. It is actually a re-badged Daihatsu Mira that underwent an extensive assembly line-like refurbishing at the Norkis factory. Because of the extensive refurbishing process and the labor utilized for its conversion, the government looks at the Privacy as a remanufactured vehicle instead of classifying it as a “used imported vehicle”. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2] The diminutive dimensions of the Privacy allowed it to cut a small path through traffic. Driving dynamics of the mini-car is like being behind the wheel of an enclosed go-kart. It is not complicated to drive. The suspension is surprisingly soft for a subcompact car and the steering feels responsive to the driver inputs. Since the Privacy is powered by a 660cc-three cylinder Daihatsu engine, don’t expect to be blown away. The lawnmower-like acceleration of this subcompact may not excite the likes of Fernando Alonso or Valentino Rossi, but it might appeal to their mothers. (Come on, hijo mio! Give up racing and drive more slowly, will you?) [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2] Despite the Privacy’s small size, the car’s interior actually has more legroom than it should, perhaps taking a cue from the original Austin Mini. Looking at the interior, I guessed they should have called it the “Private” instead because the interior is very basic, much like an enlisted Army private. Like its Norkis Maverick stable mate, the Privacy does not have an audio system to keep the cost down. The dashboard layout is so elementary with a speedometer, tachometer, water temperature and fuel gauge on the cluster panel monitoring the bare essentials of the car. No techno wizardry for a Star Wars fan like me. At least, the air conditioning system of the Privacy provides the proper blast of cold air when the need arises. An Eskimo could feel comfortable inside this car, but he must be a small Eskimo. Sumo wrestlers should look somewhere else. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Real Economy[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2] What it lacks in raw power and luxury, the Privacy makes up in fuel economy. These days, if a car can do 15 kilometers to a liter as the Privacy does, it will merit a second look, especially for budget-conscious individuals like me.
The Privacy, an automatic transmission-equipped one at that, consumed as much gas as my CVT-equipped motorbike! Talk about fuel-efficiency! [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2] Besides being the exclusive distributors of Yamaha motorcycles in the country, Norkis Trading Co., Inc. is marketing three econocar models – the Privacy, the Maverick and the Legacy One. “What we are offering is a practical solution for today’s demands. These subcompact cars offer basic transportation and exceptional fuel economy, yet they are equipped to provide comfort during everyday motoring,” states Albos. He added that Norkis customers are assured of quality after-sales service and spare parts support. [/SIZE]

British racing greens - from zero to 150mph on potatoes and cashew shells

by DAVID WILKES - More by this author » Last updated at 14:31pm on 26th July 2007 Comments
The tyres are made of potatoes and the brake pads from ground cashew shells.
The body was created from hemp and rapeseed oil, and it runs on fuel made from fermented wheat and sugar beet.

Yet despite the greenest of credentials, this mean machine is capable of a highly-impressive 150mph.

The one-seater racing car - called Eco One - has been built by experts from Warwick University to dispel the perception that 'green' motoring means dull little electric runarounds or filling your fuel tank with chip fat.



Designer Ben Wood says Eco One can reach 150mph

The academics behind the project hope that cars made in such a way will one day be a regular sight on Grand Prix circuits and that their ideas will also be adopted by the mass automotive industry.

Eco One was designed by Dr Kerry Kirwan, a researcher at Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), the university's academic department which provides solutions to industry, and built by student Ben Wood over two months at a cost of £20,000.


Ben races into pole position in Eco One

Mr Wood, 23, pictured in the car, said: "All the plastic components can be made from plants and although the chassis has to be made from steel for strength, steel is a very recyclable material.

"If we can build a high-performance car that can virtually be grown from seed, just imagine what's possible for the average family car."
Powered by the engine from a Triumph Daytona motor-cycle, Eco One does 0-62mph in under four seconds. It will be on display at the National Science Museum in London from August 28 to 30.

Zoe Howard, head of communications for WMG, said: 'It demonstrates that not all eco cars have to be small and electric - they can be high-performance too.

"We have been speaking to various-people within the motor sports industry. There are a number of potential collaborators who seem keen on developing the technology.

"The motor sports industry knows it's got to be greener. And the concept is transferable into cars for the race track or the motorway.

"The main message is how cutting edge technology is making high performance-eco-friendly cars a reality, helping dispel the myth that 'green' cars are slow and sluggish."

Eco One is 95 per cent biodegradable or recyclable, although its steering-wheel, seat and electrics comprise conventional materials.

It has not been raced competitively because, the designers say, it is in a class of its own.

Now thats what I call - material engineering to the max!

[Helios]

I knew it years ago that it would work, it's just a matter of time when agricultural by-products and plant based fibres can clearly substitute or totally replace existing ultra light, high tensile strength materials for industrial use. A third of RP's land area is arable therefore we should be a hi-yielding abaca, hemp, or even soybean exporter for those countries who can develop these composites in exchange for technology transfer. If only DOST and DepAgri would be funded and pushed by both gov't and private sector perhaps they can provide independent thinkers the support they require. Somehow the rising fuel prices and Gore's global warming will bring into existence these exciting times ahead. Just don't use lemons on my car please

[safeorigin]

COOL!!! ME WANT ONE!!!
how's that for my bamboo fiber experiments! it'll work{i hope so}

[donutb0y]

hi to tsikot ommunity.. i also want to share my design..

mitsubishi lancer box type GT wide body




and this one has no name yet...

[donutb0y]

to sir enrico,

plan ko rin maging katulad mo.. mag design ng kotche.. so plan ko kumuha ng industrial design.. ok kaya ito ang kunin ko? applicable ba to sa pag dedesign ng mga kotche??

[safeorigin]

pwedeng pwede yan. ako pharmacy ang kurso ko pero mahilig ako magdesign as an AMATEUR. siya nga pala 17 pa lang ako at si drey is 18.

[donutb0y]

hmm.. cool.. when i saw this thread, i was inspired and the same time challenged.. because making your own design will going to be hard because a lot of us have this competetive imaginations..
