Graphic designer Santosh Chawla is out with his new hydrogen-powered Circulus concept car design. The concept, a result of innovation, creativity and futuristic thinking, will be made from recycled materials and would be powered by hydrogen fuel cells. The Circulus will feature a high visibility, panoramic windshield giving all-round visibility and extremely small turning circle.
Chawla has incorporated an omnidirectional sphere at the front, which is controlled by an intelligent system that is capable of recognizing and responding to every movement. The two rear wheels are responsible for the braking and stability in addition to the drive. It is still unclear how the steering mechanism would function from the front wheel, but the suspension arms connected to a hood over the top part of the sphere, with small intermediary ball bearings between the spherical tire and the hood can be seen easily in the design.
Chawla’s design has made into the 2009 Michelin Challenge Design, a project that is known for promoting creative thinking and innovative design. This sporty and dazzling concept car is sure to grab a lot of attention.
