The BBmobile project was born of a collaboration between two men during the year 2012 to put in action their respective vision of environmental protection. However, it is the symbol of great talent and technological legacy of a man, but especially his dedication, his strength of character, his passion for finding immediate concrete solutions to improve this world and its future . His story provides a better perspective of the evolution of his ideas and technologies it has developed to achieve the creation of BBmobile. One of his innovations called "CASI" for in french " Contrôle Actif de la Stabilité et de l'Inclinaison'' translate by ''Active Control of Stability and Tilt '' was a decisive step.

 

Pierre Blanchard is a great inventor and an exceptional man, but unpretentious. You can get a more diverse view of his work by visiting the page Gravity Antidote Solutions Inc.

 

He is trained mechanic but has worked at the beginning of his career in the entertainment world and the circus. In addition to shows, he designed his own equipment. Over time, he developed an expertise as a consultant in industrial engineering processes.  Also, the latter is a former motocross racer and is the cause of the revolution in mountain bike downhill by introducing the use of suspension travel of 8 inches. The problem in transports and oil dependence was constant topics thinking about. He founded in 2009 the company Gravity Antidote Solutions inc. with the aim to validate the CASI, developing a compact and powerful ecological vehicle as an alternative to the automobile called at that time : The M'automobile.

​

Unfortunately, while the progress of its principles and its prototypes were successful, he was struck by a rare cancer affecting the lungs and then after, the bones. The latter fought the disease for three years keeping in mind his projects and always hoping a way to fulfill them. He suprisingly returned from his cancer in 2012 with a new perspective and enough energy to start again where he had left, but this time, with some help. Thus appears Eric Blackburn, a young scientist who, beyond the simple framework of a business relationship, believe that the work of Pierre should not disappear. Physicist, mathematician and a chemist by training , he was to complete a Masters degree in environmental engineering when he involved himself to help perpetuate Gravity Antidote Solutions inc. His mastery was in water treatment field. He create a pilote with nothing more than reused materiel of his Lab as a basis technolgy; he establish a protocol to operate it and made somes experiences of interest for technology improvement. It was working with an industrial partner. Besides the scientific path , he possess also a large experience in terms of community involvement, associative and organizational management . Recently became a new father, his social, environmental and political preoccupations take a bit more sens through genetics and love. This event also affects Pierre who decided to put a lot of his energies back to a new design for a very compact and extremely convenient urban vehicle for family; and this influence can be feel into this project name: the BBmobile.

 

The two men share a visceral need to tackle problems at their source and have a long term thinking. They seek to scientifically prove what they say but more, to do something constructive. Their strength is their respective integrity and willingness to support a solution if it is needed. An interesting lesson from their meeting and the story is that the inventor is not the postgraduate student but the mechanician ! This is a very humbling experience, whith respect and knowledge sharing. There are different ways to learn and understand the world. Pierre had developed a practical environmental vision based on the concrete world of making thing. This shows that is not merely your status, your diploma or your economic power that decide if a solution is good, it simply depends on validating specifically whether or not it is actually a good idea. Sciences and innovations history is a demonstration of the art of approaching problems differently. However, it is always surprising to realize that we constantly recommend to use the same ineffective strategy to solve a problem and pretend that we will reach a different result. The reason behind this, good or not, is usually interests protection. But the first step is to understand that the problem lies largely in this way of thinking .

 

So, here is the beginning of the story and there are many more actors behind it. We are not alone, and over time , we hope that you will be in ...
