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.

Bicycle: Carrier and seat

2018-2019

We created a carrier design below the head-tube and a seat design based on a leafspring and coil-spring combination for a common roadster bicycle.

SUV: Roof redesign

2018-2022

We cutout the roof from an SUV style car (Toyota Qualis) and added a hollow galvanised iron tube based framing system to strengthen the frame with cross-bracing at the roof level (similar to a rollbar). We also built a sloped receptacle framing system on top of the strengthening frame for adding roof panels for both weather protection and to channel wind through the car.

Sub-compact car design illustration

2018

We created an illustration (using Inkscape) of a sub-compact car body design.

Hatchback: rear-cabin interior

2015-2017

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.
