TALISMAN

The Magic of Fluid Optics at the service of Talisman

Talisman, concept car of RENAULT, was presented to the 2001-Frankfurt-Motor Show.
After Koleos, Fluid Optics again brings all its magic to the Talisman.

A concept which has stood the test of time

As for Koleos, the last concept car of RENAULT again adopts the technology of the Fluid Optics for the headlamps.

Thanks to the excellent team of design of RENAULT, the conception of this headlamp became an original and spectacular design. The Fluid Optics is not only associated to an arch-shape as for Koleos but can take a multitude of shapes to serve the design.

A technology at the service of the designers

For Talisman, the designers of Renault privileged fluidity and simplicity. Here, air seems to sculpt the shapes. In front, they are punctuated with optical blocks which became slender lines of light at the edge of the wings.

They are real works of art, modern by their Fluid Optic's technology but they also evoke the time of the beautiful mascots of glass' radiator.

An adaptable dioptric headlamp

The visible part of the optics of the headlamp is only constituted with two transparent cylinders positioned transversely to the axis of the vehicle. No reflector, or no source are visible. The complexity of the technology is completely hidden. Headlamps seem simple, pure and light.

Indeed, the flux of light comes from a part hidden under the headlamp, is reflected on cylinders and is projected on the road.

Possible evolutions

The headlamp was conceived to be able to pass from high beams to low beams by a simple rotation of cylinders. The rotation of cylinders could be even enslaved with an electronic computer assuring various functions such as the regulation of the height of the light beams according to the load of the vehicle or the driving.

In this headlamp concept, it would be possible, by using the movement of a dioptric piece integrated into cylinders, to direct beams according to the rotation of wheels or some electronic outside information. This could ensure the optimal lighting in bends.

Continuous Innovation

Today, many headlamps use projectors composed by modules using a light bulb, an elliptic reflector, a mask and a lens. Often, they are presented today as reference projectors for low beams. But this technique dates for more than 100 years ago because it is finally only a resumption of the technique of film projectors. MEGALUX, a French firm small, persists in studying only completely innovative concepts. In the last letter of Syzygies, published by the inventors of the Fluid Optics, a new improvement of these headlamps with lenses is proposed. Innovation bases on the use of a completely transparent reflector already presented a long time ago on the Internet site of the Fluid Optics (http://www.fluid-optics.org).
