Good Friday

This is one of the happiest day of my life! Praise you Lord for all You've done for us! It is also on this day, my concept design has been featured in Yanko Design, which was the world leading modern industrial design website where millions of people from all over the world will be tuning in to some of the world's best designs and concepts. I'm extremely happy that my design has been chosen as one of the feature design and it's right in the front page! Well, at least on that particular day. *smile*

Thank you Lord and thanks to all those have supported me! *wink*

You guys are the best!

Deepest Regret

Have you ever felt regretful for what you could have done but you didn't do it because you worried too much?

I could have made the call last nite. As a matter of fact, I did called once but there was no answer. Then, I didn't bother to call the second time until this morning.

So, what happened next? IT'S SOLD!

Bye bye FD... *sob sob*

What could have been a dream come true... :(

Official Image Release

I hereby pleased to announce that Vixious Works had officially released it's official prototype images of the Motion ActiVAD™ GT Wing System. The images can be view in Vixious Works official blogspot. Feel free to drop in comments and suggestion if any. Thank you.

Enemy at the Gates

I was shocked today to find out my worst fear has finally found it way to the automotive aftermarket scene. Aeromotions Split GT Wing Technology or more technically known as AeroMotions Dynamic Aero Processor Technology (ADAPT) has paved thru the SEMA 2008 show alongside with one of the sickest ride - The BUDEZ GT-R.

I'm really keeping my fingers cross as the BEST is yet to come...


Watch the Split GT Wing in action :

Vixious Teaser

Here is yet another teaser photo of the latest 3D modeling shot of the much anticipated Vixious Works Motion ActiVAD™ GT Wing System. The prototype shall be finalized anytime within next month. Hopefully everything goes well. *fingers cross*

Now, I really need a project car to install my new product... *wink wink*

Black Illusion

This is what inspired my new header... *wink*

Simply sick eh? *grin*

Product Development Update

It has come to the 3rd weeks of our product development and we're basically experiencing some downtown time in sourcing for the right pneumatics actuators and power packs. My engineering team - eXpedio Solutions, has been in talks with 5 different automation suppliers and finally, we have decided to go for a Korean company namely, Hydro-Tek. We will be working closely with the Hydro-Tek representative to build the special mini power pack control system. Once that's done, we can work on designing and enclosure to conceal cabling, etc. In the meantime, we've gotten all the dimensions for the parts and can continue with the detailed design.

As our active aerodynamics product required light-weight actuators that come with the right strength to withstand the maximum down-force acted upon it, we're probably going to work with a local pneumatic flow engineering company called WOG Controls. Being the main distributor of CKD Corporations Japan, WOG is a well acknowledged solution provider for pneumatics and fluid controls engineering in South East Asian market.

Rest assured, our progress are still within the schedule and we hope to see a fully functional prototype by the end of October.

Magnetostriction

In a MTS linear-position or liquid-level sensor, a sonic strain pulse is induced in a specially designed magnetostrictive waveguide by the momentary interaction of two magnetic fields. One field comes from a movable permanent magnet which passes along the outside of the sensor tube, the other field comes from a current pulse or interrogation pulse applied along the waveguide. The interaction of the two magnetic fields produces a strain pulse, which travels at sonic speed along the waveguide until the pulse is detected at the head of the sensor.

The position of the magnet is determined with high precision by measuring the elapsed time between the application of the interrogation pulse and the arrival of the resulting strain pulse. Consequently, accurate non-contact position or liquid-level sensing is achieved with absolutely no wear to the sensing components.

The sensor is composed of four key elements:

• Waveguide sensing element
• Integral sensing and output conditioning electronics module(s)
• A protective, product-compatible applications housing designed to provide the right combination of environmental protection and physical mounting configurations for a wide variety of installation possibilities.
• An external permanent magnet.

There are two classic applications of this technology – one where the magnet is attached to a machine part to sense linear position, and the other where the magnet is placed inside a float (designed for a specific density) and the sensor then measures liquid level.

Now, guys, do you have any idea of what you just read? I myself don't even have a single clue! lolz!

Lately I've been fed with these kind of information as the development of my product has been up and running and it has been giving me indigestion as I need to have some knowledge of what might be utilize in the second stage of the development works. How I wish I could mix it into a cup of 3 in 1 coffee...

Show Time!

Let the show begins!

My engineering team has started with my product prototyping development today. They will be meeting some pneumatics & electro-hydraulics suppliers to source for the standard parts and at the same time, the design engineer is now in the progress of coming up with the detailed mechanical design of the support mechanism including modeling of individual customer made components. Apart from that, we are also going to perform mechanical dynamics analysis such as collision detection on the developed product and aerodynamics management very soon. All these are going to be hell of an experience! *grin*

My product prototype (Stage 1 - Manual Operated) is schedule to be ready by end of October. I'll be keeping my finger cross.. Pray for me ya *wink*

As for my patent filing, it's finally done... the payment was unbelievable too! *laugh*

PJS 11/7 Bandar Sunway! Here I come!

Tomorrow I'll be going to KL and I'm looking forward to visit Bandar Sunway most famous street. The heart of JDM in Malaysia. Hopefully I'll be back with pictures to post here. So, stay tune ya.. *wink*

Vixious Teaser

Here is the 3D rendered teaser picture of Vixious Skyline V34 GT-R version I aka. Black Blood Dragon™

Comment are most welcome! *grin*

Vixious Design Logo

Guys I need some opinions here. Which of these logos design looks better? Please give me some comments and suggestions. Thanks a bunch! *grin*

My personal favourite is the one I used as the main banner. *wink*

p/s : Please click on the logo to enlarge. thanks. *smile*

Vixious Teaser

Ok, most probably some of you would be curious to know when is Vixious Works going to come out with it's new product. Well, I myself also not quite sure when.. *grin*

Anyway, I would like to leave you guys with this piece of teaser photo... haha...

I really pray hard that I could come out with the prototype within this year and hopefully to see it in production in 2009! So, keep your finger cross ya! *wink wink*

Btw, thanks to SupermotoXL Designs for making this possible. *smile*
