Flup is a mirage maker, creating illusions of an oasis in the desert for its defence. Its locomotion is solely based on leaping huge distances over dunes with the help of its rear hydraulic thruster. It sits on top of cacti and extracts water from them to replenish its tanks, which it supplies to travellers who have run out of water. It is fitted in the front with a blower to blow sand off trapped people.

To recapitulate what I have said earlier, The goal of this project was to design a new unique vehicle. It begins with abstract sculptures which are interesting from all angles. This is done so that preconceptions of what it should look like are minimised. This is followed by perspective sketches of the sculptures with a focus on innovative ways in which it will interact with humans. Color is applied to these sculptures to get new ideas. The design chosen for development is called the Flup. The Flup was selected as its three dimensional form, as well as its derived function were enigmatic and dynamic. It seemed to have a good potential for developing the design further.
