Dragonfly II
2008
Credits: Amit Zoran
The Dragonfly II began as an attempt to (conceptually) design a two wheel vehicle with wheels that have the mobility to move around the center mass, so that they can be parallel or in a row. Each wheel is powered by a linear electronic engine installed in the inside part. During the work on the project and the examination of the gain and difficulty in realizing full mobility, it became clear that there is no theoretical justification for such a motorcycle. In the end, I created a motorcycle concept with a different design derived from an original idea, despite the fact that the idea wasn't actually implemented in this particular project.
