New idea (sketches)

Primitive rescue trailer

This is a good idea but bad execution (in design terms).

Kite Buggy

PTW Custom Kite Buggy from Kieron Jansch on Vimeo.
Here is a quick whizz round my new PTW (Popeye the Welder) custom built kite buggy. Popeye calls it a Peter Lynn Race Buggy conversion, but really the only PL bit is the rear axle! Everything else is 100% Popeye's work. Check out the leading link suspension at the front; it's a work of art.

This is a good reference of a mechanism for my new option

For my research how the machines moves, different systems.

Middle presentation (chat with Anders Smith)

Basically this talk was more to re-define what I want to do? 
We discussed  some ideas:
Solve miner's problem in an emergency situation.
I need to go back to the mine and analyze more the user.
to know the size of the thing.
It was a very short conversation but definitely I need to go back one step behind to get more information about the final user and the main concept.

Mid- presentation at Umeå

Monday 22nd, I presented my 3 main concepts after my research stage is it time to move on to choosing where to go, re define ideas focused in one concept. The most relevant comments I got today where:


-I should be more focus on the user experience (+ focus in usability in stead of function)
-I need to explain more on my report why I choose option "B".
-There's a good possibility to merge 3 different options in one, just choosing the best of each one.
-It's important to know that my product is not a vehicle, furniture or tool box.
-Get more attention on the communication/tagging system as I said at the beginning, seems I've forgot it.
-Maybe would be useful to take a way one of the functions because they are many and I should be more focus to one topic "rescue" (in my idea would be a barricade kit), it is becoming a swiss knife.
-It would be interesting to have this as a "international symbol" around many different mines in the world.
-Independent wheels to provide more flexibility and accessibility.
-I should not be just limited by choosing an engine.
-I am missing points like: lights to attend people and guiding sensors.
-How's gonna be the tagging system? how we are going to wear it?
-About the energy, does not have to be Diesel.   

Paratech (lifting airbag)

Paratech

Lifting airbags, current technology I would like to have in my rescue kit. 

Feeling of the options

option 1

option 2

option3 

This images are "work in process", I am developing 3 different options taking direction "B" already chosen, more sketches are coming soon and also the 3 complete options to go. In this stage I do not want to be very deep into shapes the main intention is to give an idea of volume and functional concepts.
