Subject: [Transtopia] Open Ocean Class SWATH Hull Barge Homes I wanted members to be aware of a remarkable breakthrough in both affordability and rapid production of a type of SWATH hull barge that is open ocean capable. It is not strong enough to survive a direct hit from a Cat-5 hurricane or anything like that (you get out of the way) but it is designed to provide enough freeboard to make it comfortable on the open ocean. See: http://www.nu-flotilla.com A lot of design time went into this system and it is remarkable how simple, affordable, and durable the structure is. Kind of like a Sea Turtle. A floating factory that produces floating homes and communities based on this system is in the works. The investors found us on this one just about as fast as we had the web site up and on the search engines. We have been ask to build inland barge homes based on a scaled down version and that has had serious request for info from a number of developers around the world. The 1/4 scale prototype unit is about to be built and the images of it should be up on the site in the next few weeks. The frame material for the prototype barge has arrived just today and we will get to work on it as soon as we move into a larger facility. This promises to be an answer for building affordable floating communities. I would like to know what you all think after you have time to really examine the models and think over the concept. The engineering is done, the 3D models are up and the units are priced out for various sizes and types of barges and homes. Next is the 1/4 prototype and an ocean test. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> EX MACHINA LIBERTAS http://www.transtopia.org <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Real Free Speech Web Hosting http://www.1st-amendment.net Yahoo!
