Lava environment
1-lava
on this world lava covers most of the ground, it is difficult
for anyone to walk on the surface for a long period of time.
2-ash
the ash created from the constantly erupting volcanoes could
be a big problem, it could affect the temperature of this world as well visibility
will be poor the society that lives on this world never leave their homes
without fresh oxygen to breathe
3-visibility
most of the time in this environment visibility is poor and
sometimes pretty much impossible to see
4-volcanic winter
the thick ash will cause a volcanic winter. The ash from the
constantly erupting volcanoes will result in a global temperature change from
ash blocking the sun’s rays making the air colder
5-how this world is
powered
It recycles the lava and uses the heat energy to create
electricity to power peoples homes and businesses
6-living on the
ground
If an inhabitant of this world is unfortunate enough to live
on the ground, they live in houses which are on tall reinforced stilts although
temperature is warmer closer to the ground. The constant earthquakes will drive
you mad.
7- living in the
skies
These houses float high in the sky to escape the troubles
associated with living on the surface.
8-oxygen
People have air filtration systems in their houses to filter
out the harmful chemicals and ash in the atmosphere so that inhabitants are
able to have clean air and they won’t leave the house without oxygen
cannisters.
9-materials
The materials used in this environment must have an
extremely high melting point. Tungsten is the preferred metal to use in this
environment when building on the ground
10-raider
with visibility being poor the majority of the time I think the
best way of knowing your surroundings and of the vehicle uses when in your vehicle
will be a radar system when in the vehicle
11-using energy from
the environment
the vehicle designed for this environment will run off of
the heat from the lava. by Heating up elements on the bottom of the vehicle it
will allow the vehicle to transfer the energy into electricity to run functions
within the vehicle
12-airtight
Having a vehicle airtight will allow a better driving
experience for the user it will stop any ash smoke or bad smells from the getting
outside the vehicle. This will mean the vehicle will have to have either oxygen
tanks or an air filtration system.
13-light
as well as having to have a material with a high melting the
material is also going to have to be light enough h to over about lava
14- hover
I’d like this vehicle to be able to hover above the lava using
the same ideas and concepts behind a hot air balloon. One reason for this is to
protect the vehicle against earthquakes and materials melting against the lava
15-design
I would like the car to be inspired by the shape of a drone
with four extended arms from each corner that main body of the vehicle, each of
these will have a hot air ballon like attachment to allow the vehicle to hover
16-hot air balloon concept
I’d like the vehicle to use the same concept as a hot air
balloon that hot air fills bags with hot air to raise the vehicles off the
ground.
17- movement of the
vehicle
As hot air balloons have little control I’d like to add a
fan similar to a hovercraft or some sort of claw system that will allow it to
pull itself forwards.
New Ice Age
1-cold
the environment is extremely cold most of the being in minus
numbers
2-snow and ice
think snow and ice covering the whole planet reaching
thicknesses of 300m from the Earth’s crust to the surface of the snow
3-bad days
on the surface high winds and blizzards are frequent
4-sunny days
on sunny days the sun reflects off the snow making it
extremely hard to see
5-underground
civilization
The Civilization lives underground
6-ground source
energy
houses built low enough to the Earth’s crust use ground
source energy for hot water and some power needs
7-food
the main source of food is fish not always the easiest to
get, as breaking through the ice to get to the water can cause some difficulty.
8-underground
vehicles
the vehicle for this environment will be able to dig under
the snow and ice having a vehicle that can travel underground will be a big
benefit in this environment allow the vehicle get to underground houses and fish
under the thick ice.
9-getting trapped
this vehicle is going to have some safety measures in case
of emergencies, such as if you trapped under the snow falling in snow caves and
get your vehicle, Drilling into to sea and the vehicle sinking.
10-cave-ins
with the vehicles digging underground will this cause cave-ins
where snow from the top fall blocking the underground caves/channels and
creating ruts on the surface
11-vision underground
to be able to see when driving this vehicle under the ground
it will be fitted with some sort of heat or x-ray vision to be able to
comprehend what is in front of you when driving. A radar system could also be a
good idea.
12-keeping warm
keeping warm in this vehicle will be will be vital to the survival
of occupants inside, having heaters in the car will not only keep the occupants
warm but also works as a way of calling down the engine. Heated seats and steering
will be fitted
13-ice drill concept
I’d like the vehicle to drill through the ice in the same
way and ice drill works by either heating up or drilling through ice leaving the middle ice section behind
14-public transport
system
I think the public transport system could work better for
this environment, although people would have their own vehicles for travelling
along the surface, these vehicles can also attach to an underground system like
a train that can get them from a to b quickly and safely.
zombie apocalypse
1-zombies
in this environment there are flesh eating zombies that will
do anything to get the teeth into some human meat. The zombies prefer the dark
but you still see them in the day. The ratio of humans to zombies is 1 human to
50 zombies
2-the streets
The streets are mostly empty but if there is a loud noise or
the zombies can smell you the streets within minutes will be swarming with
zombies
3-the disease
the disease is a waterborne and affected millions of
millions people very quickly when it was first discovered. Finding clean water
in this environment can be a struggle
4-drinking water
drinking water has to be cleaned, filtered out and tested
before anyone can drink it.
5-security
The houses they live in are well built protected fortresses,
normally housing small groups of people
6-community
Most people are friendly, but no one lives in a bigger group
than 12 due to the way viruses spread. Living in smaller groups decreases the
chance of catching the infection. Having groups between 6-12 people means there
are more eyes and more protection
7-food
People have made their own farms and have their own
livestock but this causes a lot of problems with watering plants and water for
animals as this disease can be passed through water.
8-gangs
There are gangs/pirates roaming the environment wanting
supplies that you have
9-maslow’s triangle
of needs
For my vehicle I’d like to get as many of Maslow’s needs
into the vehicle, such as clean drinking water, food storage, warmth and
safety. I want there to be enough room for passengers.
10-protection
The vehicle needs to be well protected to not only protect itself
from zombies and gangs. The vehicle will be equipped with weapons and bullet
proof armour. Taser system for the legs and body of the vehicle.
11-plan B
In this environment there’s got to be a back-up plan as
things can turn at any time. Hidden door, ejector seat/body
12-zombie energy
We burn zombie bodies (making an oil) to make power to run
the vehicles
13-spider concept
I’d like to go for a vehicle which is on tall legs to be out
of reach from zombies. Zombies wouldn’t be able to reach the main body of the
car. Having spider like legs could help climb over obstacles such as small
rivers, fallen trees and buildings.
