Page 1/8 fLUMENS Cloud Volvo Design Rides 2016 Dutch Design Week Name: Rombout Frieling Email: mail@rombout.design Phone: +31 6 41467059 Website: www.rombout.design Location DDW 2016: MicroLab Scale: 1:30 fLUMENS Cloud dimensions: L: 2.000 W: 1.400 H: 1.070 Description: ROMBOUT Frieling lab concentrates on projects that utilize potential. Wind energy is such a potential, yet often distant and intangible and therefore not fully exploited. fLUMENS are wind powered lights, developed by us, which often amaze people that a lot of light can be generated from even a tiny gust of wind. FLUMENS have undergone rigorous testing at wind speeds of 140km/h in order to be in reliable and 100% safe operation for months on end next to the public in various lighting installations (see page 2). We are therefore completely confident to use them safely and reliably for this Design Ride proposal. At DDW16, we would like to present the fLUMENS CLOUD on top of the Design Rides: The CLOUD contains 25 fLUMENS and serves as a solid mounting structure for the FLUMENS as well as an additional layer of protection. It further resembles the potential of moving air. Both during the drive and statically on a windy day, fLUMENS will reveal patterns of light that react to wind direction and force showing the potential of something that is so abundantly around us. 1070mm 2000 mm 1400 mm Page 1/8

The loops are reinforced by Stainless Steel M5 thread rods. Pipe loops are connected together at intersections by M5 Stainless steel bolt with Nylon locknut. fLUMENS are mounted inside of the loops. In this manner all the (moving) components are locked up in the cloud. Pipe loop intersection Pipe Stainless Steel M5 thread rod fLUMEN
