Design Modifications

Bicycle balancer & 4WD Rickshaw design

2019-2022

We experimented with a bicycle balancer design (similar to training wheels) that used very lightweight handmade tires.

We started designing a 4 wheel rickshaw with 2 chain cranks and 2 corresponding chains, one for the rear-wheels and one for the front.

We experimented with rear-cabin interior reorganisation on a sub-compact (Honda Brio) and a compact (VW Golf) hatchback.

Motorcycle: muffler redesign

2012-2016

We started making land-vehicle design modifications with a revised free-flowing muffler redesign for a common motorcycle (TVS XL100).

We removed all the diffusers in the existing design and added a tuned port at the outlet.

This was done by creating a pressure guide on the inside of the main muffler cavity and adding a fixed length narrow outlet pipe at the exit-point of the main muffler cavity.
