Floating houses are ready! Japan's New Technology..!?
In Japan, which is surrounded by the sea in the south, various natural disasters such as floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, and sea turbulences occur every year and people rush to escape from them. In other words, even though it is a country with a large population, most of the people have to start from scratch every year.
Many have lost their homes and lost their belongings to the flood. There is no end to this. To prevent the loss of lives from such accidents, the Japanese government has kept disaster relief personnel and machinery on standby. However, so far no significant discovery has been made so that people's livelihoods are not affected.
In this case, the housing company "Ichijo Komuten" (Ichijo Komuten) has invented a house that floats in case of a flood. It is a house built on the bottom of the house without having to dig and lay a foundation. But rigid cables are used to connect the bottom of the house to the ground. These cables are up to 15 feet long. In other words, these cables can rise to 5 feet from the ground in the water and keep the house floating without being swept away by the flood.
And the doors are designed to be watertight so that water does not enter the house and the house floats like a ship in flood waters. The cables act as anchors to keep the house in place without being swept away. When the flood water begins to recede, the house will go down along with the water. This is not just an idea, this house is actually built. A video of its process has now surdata-faced on the internet and has taken everyone by surprise.
