This is a gimbal platform for transporting fragile or sensitive material inside of vehicles.  I was approached by a friend who provides food catering services to hotels on an island in Greece — he was looking for a way to secure catered food during transport from the kitchen to the customers. Due to the steep roads on the island, the food would get shifted around in the back of the transport van, and often deliveries would get damaged and have to be re-sent. We created several full scale wooden prototypes to test the effectiveness of the device, before building a final prototype out of aluminum extruded profile. The final prototype also integrates 3d printed pillow bearings. A motorized version of the gimbal is currently in the works (see the miniature 3d-printed versions).
