PROBLEM:
SOLUTION:
EXPLANATION:
Little turbulence
Riplet fabric
Avoids turbulences in the airflowt
Strong vortex
Riplet fabric rough
Avoids turbulences in the airflow
Wake
Airflow break-away edge
To reduce the wake area
Seperation point
Airflow break-away edge
The edge minimises turbulences by defining the seperation point

iBASIN
(Designed 2009)
Automatic wash basin
This wash basin combines the application of soap, washing and drying the hands with a fully automatic mechanism. Therefore the user doesn’t need to touch any surface which results in a cleaner environment and can reduce spreading of germs. It can be used in all public restrooms e.g. in Restaurants, Hotels, Train stations, Airports. It combines different technologies and is based on automation.

Z-Space (Designed 2009 Intern) Three dimension display
zSpace is a new 3D visualization tool that enables designers, engineers and film makers to build, manipulate, and view objects in 3d. Unlike 3d TV, zSpace objects are created and displayed in 3d with CAD in real time high definition. Our challenge was to integrate this fabulous technology into a design that was friendly, compact, easy to use and beautiful. Thanks to

"Kicks that are made barefoot are resulting in a higher ball speed than kicks with shoes"
„If I have to move a heavy mass down there i need more power - and that results in a slower match...“ Prof. Ph. D. Ewald Hennig, Professor for Biomechanics and Kinetics, University Duisburg-Essen
Target:
Soccer Shoe
(Designed 2008)
This soccer shoe is extremely light, to enable the player to be faster as well as it allows very precise kicks. The performance level in professional soccer teams is very high and players are on similar levels so equipment can help to make a difference on a legal level. The shoe was developed for very ambitious players who wanna get the rest out of themselves and their equipment. The Radical SX is reaching its target by using an innovative construction principal, combining different equipment parts into one shoe, using lightweight construction and new materials.
Minimise weight Maximise Flexibility
Flexible CARBON Shoe sole The carbon shoe sole is surrounded by a rubber skin. It provides stability for the shoe and studs are attached to it.

integration of different Parts - Reduce weight - Avoid mispurchase of heavy shin guards
Knee-highs are replaced by a rugged sock.
A flexible frame is connecting the studs with the shin guard into one element.
To put on the frame a special shoehorn is used, which makes it easier as the frame is sitting tight.
The sock and the frame will build a tight unit.

ELASTOMER
The orange elastomer allows to have a better grip with the ball. In addition they have a cleaning function as they push back dirt from the studs when they get back into their original position.
