Romanian-based designer Lucian Popescu wants to use EMP to power a pair of futuristic concept vehicles. Popescu’s two EMP concepts use his Pandur 2L Sphere System for propulsion. The system, located within the vehicle’s spherical wheels, uses computer controlled electromagnets to move the sphere. There is no other motor, and suspension is provided by the electromagnetic field between the driver and the sphere.Popescu has two models on the drawing board. The pod-shaped Le model is designed for long-distance travel and positions the driver completely in the pod. The Li model, which Popescu says is inspired by Romanian motorcycle maker Mobra, looks like a cross between a tractor and a scooter and places the driver in a more traditional upright position.Learn more from Earth Techling.
