Comments on Instant Housing

the complete story)
| "This is ingenious! What makes it perfect is it's COMPLETE self suffenciency. When I saw the bit about solar panels, I thought "12 volts". Then they talked about 110 volts and I was thrown through a loop. AND it can be plugged into the grid, as well! As a family that lived in a traditional mobile home for 13 years, the potential for marketing these as a regular housing alternative is amazing.

| "I agree. Clarke, of course, was a tidy scientist who just assumed that nobody would make a mess in whatever exotic location was desired. But what a great idea; you could just airlift them in." (Bill Christensen 10/6/2009 11:45:55 AM) |
| "Buckminster Fuller predates both this design & Clarke with his Dymaxion House (1929)" (Blue Monkey 1/10/2010 3:45:31 PM) |
