The Tsunami Pod

A conceptual design for a resilient house has taken shape. This futuristic dwelling is equipped with carbon nanotube tethers and electromagnets, which work together to repel each other, allowing the house to float effortlessly on water. The structure is also self-sufficient, generating its own power through a turbine and solar panel combination on top, while a filter system on the back efficiently purifies water during a tsunami. For added convenience, the house can be seamlessly connected to the city's resources via pipes located at the rear. To provide an extra layer of protection, the exterior is crafted from steel, reinforced with a specialized coating made from metallic glass and silicone for enhanced waterproofing. Additionally, plexiglass is used for the solar panel and windows, which are cleverly designed to be covered during tsunamis for further safeguarding. The house boasts a single floor design, akin to a bungalow, thanks to its hydrodynamic shape that expertly defies tsunami forces. A note-worthy aspect of this design is that the depicted tsunami block is exaggerated for visual clarity; in reality, a true tsunami would be vastly different, yet the fundamental principles enabling the house's resilience remain unchanged.
