Lepoix is a prolific designer. He has been awarded over two hundred prizes and holds over a hundred patents. He is renowned as the designer of the BIC lighter and the interior of the Concorde, but his studies on the resistance of fluids in motion are just as important. This resulted in sports bodies (Bugatti type 101) and several self-sufficient lighting and wind power systems, including our model.
