Whether you believe in climate change or not, the loss of housing due to floods is a big problem all over the world, and while engineers have been trying to find solutions, few have actually worked.
The Japanese housing developer Ichijo Komuten showed a “flood-resistant(抗洪的)house” that can not only remain waterproof(防水的)during floods but also float(漂浮)off the ground. The developer came up with an idea of keeping people’s homes from getting flooded as well as swept away by floods. The new flood-resistant house was shown on a popular Japanese TV show and has received much attention online ever since.
Japan’s TV station visited one of Ichijo’s test sites where the company’s new flood-resistant house was being put through a flood. Although it looked just like a common house when the test began, after water started rising around it, viewers could see the structure leave the ground and finally float a few inches above it.
▲? The house has special vents(通风口)that close up during floods. Its plumbing(管道)has special valves(阀门)to stop water from entering. Electrical equipment like air conditioning is placed in the upper half of the building to make sure that water doesn’t reach it.
Moreover, Ichijo’s invention stops the house from being swept away. The house is connected to thick iron rods(铁棒)sticking out of the ground with cables, keeping it in place during floods. When the water goes away, the floating house returns to its position.
According to engineers, most homes flood when water reaches the window level. But the flood-resistant house can float up to five metres above ground, so water is unlikely to reach the windows and everything else is sealed. It works quite well.
