Fixed structure platform on water

Abstract

The invention relates to the fixed platform which enables to locate on the water any fixed structure such as the house, garden, road, airport, car park, children's park and holiday village in the seas, lakes and rivers. Our invention comprises the platform ( 7 ) where the floats ( 22 ) thereof capable of floating are submerged up to a safe zone 3-5 m from the water ( 10 ) surface, the floats ( 22 ) spending energy to come out on the water surface ( 5 ) produce forces to try to maintain the platform ( 7 ) always at the same point owing to the tightness of the ropes ( 3 ) of the floats ( 22 ) and where said platform ( 7 ) is prevented from being drifted by the violent storms and huge waves and the currents in the sea, wherein the platform ( 7 ) which is manufactured in a manner suitable for its purpose comprises the weight ( 4 ) to the end of which the ropes ( 3 ) are connected, the connecting ropes ( 3 ) serving to maintain the floats ( 22 ) at a constant distance from the floor and in submerged state, the floats ( 22 ) producing the buoyancy carried over by the platform ( 7 ), the carrier columns ( 21 ) connecting the floats ( 22 ) with the platform ( 7 ) and the connecting pieces ( 20 ) that connect the columns ( 21 ) with the platform ( 7 ).
