Nissan BladeGlider Concept Car Revolutionizes The Architecture of Our Conventional Vehicles

Debuting at Tokyo Motor Show, Nissan BladeGlider concept car is the latest future vision of Nissan e-vehicle. It was the result of exploring the prototype of Nissan ZEOD RC. Led by Francois Bancon, a division general manager of Product Strategy and Product Planning at Nissan, this project has resulted in a deltoid-shape vehicle with a narrow front track instead of the conventional shape which dominates the roads since earliest days of the internal combustion engine. This design certainly stands out among the crowd.

Bancon explained that the main goal of this project was to revolutionize the architecture of our vehicle to trigger new emotions of both driver and passenger. This futuristic vehicle is meant to provide new value and new visibility for consumers to realize that Zero Emissions can redefine our conception of vehicle basics.

Nissan BladeGlider Concept Car

Nissan BladeGlider features soaring, silent, panoramic freedom of a glider while the triangular shape offers a high performance similar to an aircraft. It is looking to achieve low draw while generating road-hugging downforce. Sharing the same engineering value as Nissan LEAF and Nissan ZEOD RC, you can tell this concept futuristic vehicle is a sustainable car.

A narrow body, 1.0m lightweight front rack and wide, stable rear track, this vehicle front wheels are able to reduce drag while enhancing maneuverability for high G cornering power, thanks to 30/70 front/rear weight distribution ratio. Lightweight carbon-fiber underbody creates aerodynamic downforce.

REVIVE Alarm Clock Creates Effect of Simulated Sunlight In Your Room

I’m not a morning person, well, I bet most of you aren’t too. I have to drag myself out from under the blanket, I even hate my alarm clock for making that noise, well, the idea of having an alarm clock is actually unnatural.

Revive is a concept device that enhances our morning rituals by eliminating unnecessary sleepiness or drowsiness. Our body reacts naturally to the sunlight and sounds in the morning, but an alarm clock usually forces us to suddenly wake up causing headache, stress, and unawareness. These issues inspired Jason Putra, an Indonesian industrial designer to come up with a solution. He designed a smart device that can avoid morning breakdown, the basic idea is to integrate an alarm and light in an effective way to reduce all those inefficiencies.

Designer : Jason Putra

Revive alarm clock works by simulating the sunlight effect approximately 30 minutes before your wake up time. It gradually opens the top part of the device and emits a soft, bright light. In theory, by having bright light in the room, your eyes and body will start to adjust to the time and recognize the time, thus, dropping melatonin levels before you even wake up. In this way, you will wake up feeling more refreshed and more aware.

The built-in Bluetooth technology allows you to connect this device with your smartphones, tablets, music players, etc. You can also use it as a wireless speaker or a bed lamp. A custom app allows you to control Revive through your smartphone, allowing you to set alarm time, sound, volume, brightness level, or sleep timer.

Tuvie has received “Revive Alarm Clock” project from our ‘Submit A Design‘ feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their design/concept for publication.
