Stand-alone house island in Italy
Italian engineers from the company Capsule JetPreviously made a name in the manufacture of yachts, in 2018 designed and built a fully self contained house, floating on the water.
The project was called UFO for its resemblance to a flying saucer aliens and ingenious engineers have deciphered UFO as Unidentified Floating Object (Unidentified floating object).
The concept is as follows:
It is interesting that the house may well move: thanks to a water jet motor it can swim at a speed of 6-7 km / h (or 3.5 node in the Sea). The electric motor is powered by solar panels (total area - 40 square meters!), As well as wind and water turbines!
What about the water supply?
Drinking water is a stand-alone house derives from two sources: collecting rainwater and desalinates sea (the house is designed for sailing in Italy). A water produced enough to grow plants directly to the house: the diameter of the floating plate houses - 12 meters!
Remember, I wrote that the most interesting - from below the house?
So, under the house is another full level: with an electric motor, water turbines and with window and living room (!)! Note:
Floating house consists of two floors, and the house itself is made of fiberglass material. On the top floor - kitchen-living room of 20 squares, and on the ground floor bedroom and bathroom designed area of 10 squares. In this case, from the bedroom you can watch the underwater inhabitants through the picture window!
Concerningsecurity, The Italian engineers here have done everything in its class.
Stand-alone house island has a special anchor for parking at a particular location, as well as a navigation system, so as not to stray off course.
