Plastrack

Plastrack is a drawer slide designed for tool-free installation. The slide is made of high-strength steel-reinforced plastic in a single injection-molded piece. The main body consists of symmetrical guide rail modules that lock into preset holes in the cabinet with elastic clips, so no screws are needed. Plastrack fits cabinets of different depths and supports both side and bottom installation. The screw-free method shortens installation time and avoids contact with sharp screws. The design also addresses the cost and the limited compatibility of traditional metal slides.

Sim One

Sim One is a monitoring device designed to detect tsunamis in the open sea. Existing warning methods rely on simulations of earthquake data, which are delayed and often inaccurate.

When a dangerous ocean current is detected, a communication buoy is released and sends warning signals from the surface. The shell is made of aluminium bronze and titanium with an anti-corrosion coating.

It is the lightest in its class, with all vital parts sealed into an IP67 watertight housing, and requires near-zero maintenance. It is also truly versatile: the same unit can propel any type of vessel up to 8m/1500kg, fits seawater, and meets regulations for use on all inland waterways.
