Abstract
A floating-building including a buoyant-base configured to afloat on a surface of a water-body, an anchoring mechanism configured to anchor the buoyant-base to a bottom of the water-body, a plurality of supporting-components mounted on the buoyant-base, and a plurality of supported-elements. The plurality of supported-elements are movably arranged on the plurality of supporting-components.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A floating-building comprising:
a buoyant-base configured to afloat on a surface of a water-body, wherein the buoyant-base comprises a stabilizing-unit operable to maintain a uniform-weight-distribution on the buoyant-base to stabilize the floating-building on the surface of the water-body, an anchoring mechanism configured to anchor the buoyant-base to a bottom of the water-body, a plurality of supporting-components mounted on the buoyant-base, and a plurality of supported-elements, wherein the plurality of supported-elements are movably arranged on the plurality of supporting-components.
2 . A floating-building according to claim 1 , wherein each of at least one supporting-component from among the plurality of supporting-components comprises a supporting-tab for supporting a corresponding supported-element from among the plurality of supported-elements.
3 . A floating-building according to claim 2 , wherein the supporting-tab comprises a protruding-part configured to movably support the corresponding supported-element thereon.
4 . A floating-building according to claim 2 , wherein the corresponding supported-element comprises a protruding-part configured to movably support the corresponding supported-element on the supporting-tab.
5 . A floating-building according to claim 3 , wherein the protruding-part is configured to have a curved shape.
6 . A floating-building according to claim 5 , wherein the protruding-part is implemented by way of one of: a bearing, a wheel, a roller.
7 . A floating-building according to claim 1 , wherein at least some of the plurality of supporting-components comprises at least one groove for movably receiving a peripheral-portion of a corresponding supported-element from among the plurality of supported-elements.
8 . A floating-building according to claim 7 , wherein the peripheral-portion of the corresponding supported-element is movably supported within the at least one groove by using at least one of: an elastic material, bearing-elements.
9 . A floating-building according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of supporting-components comprises: plinth, walls, columns, beams.
10 . A floating-building according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of supported-elements comprises: floors, windows, doors.
11 . A floating-building according to claim 1 , wherein the buoyant-base is a hollow enclosed structure designed to sufficiently counter a buoyant-force provided by the water to keep the floating-building afloat on the surface of the water-body.
12 . A floating-building according to claim 11 , wherein the anchoring mechanism anchors the buoyant-base to the bottom of the water-body such that the floating-building is subjected to a pull greater than a natural buoyant-force experienced by the floating-building.
13 . A floating-building according to claim 1 , further comprising a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system arranged within the buoyant-base.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
