Disasterproof house prototype in scale 1:10 floating, close look

http://www.dom-linza.ru/en/ The height of the openings (designed to be windows and/or doors) is 2 meters in real scale. The height of waves acting on the prototype are almost equal, and so demonstrated is the stability of the elliptical concrete structure in such conditions.

windows = energy loss

@Unguidedone

Windows oriented towards the sun collect heat. The windows oriented to the shady side can be made smaller. Modern double-glazing reduces energy loss. The only obligation for floating capability is to avoid any windows below the water-line. Less windows also gives more safety from hurricanes.

It's not disaster proof if you live above niagara falls.

well you would have to tie down everything or your collection of push-pins will kill you.

that thing is about to capsize, how the fuck is that disaster proof?

WAT A PIECE OF SHIT

[anticannoneer]

a model 10x bigger wouldn't wobble around nearly as much i think.

[Ghost2234bulletsaref]

you would have to nail everthing down but good work

[lovestef2000]

i don't know.

@concen a house-size instantiation of the model would not rock like the one in the video; just like a cruiser ship does not rock like a small fishing boat does.

what you need are stabilization gyros to compensate to wave movement.

You could have an inner shell with the gyro that is stable while the outer moves with the waves.

Same principal as the stabilization of the Segway using gyros to keep the rider vertical.

hmmm, looks practical and comfortable

looks like a chlorine desprnser
