People want small and big at the same time.
And supposing the electrics function properly and reliably, by pushing a button, Beauer's tiny teardrop styled camper goes from 43sq ft to 129sq ft in a moment or less. If the electrics work. You've heard of Murphy's Law.

ReplyDeleteYes! I love the concept. Though the electronics are, as you suggest, a regrettable dependency. I would prefer a system that works by mechanical means alone, even one that can be operated by muscle-power, such as a pedal-driven system: slower, but probably more reliable.
ReplyDeleteI like the telescoping idea; there are also other ways of expanding a structure. Chuck Hoberman's folding geodesic domes come to mind.

Take a simple concept and add technology: ruin and complicate! Does not look too bad though, but not for me. I am a Neanderthal I like simple.
