Key Features

• Resilient Construction:
  Hexagonal SWAHH (Small Waterplane Area Hex Hull) platform, built from glass foam and basalt fiber, with six large ellipsoid columns doubling as wave-energy (OWC) generators.
• Closed-Loop Systems:
  Integrated cycles for water supply, waste, energy, food, hygiene, and materials — everything is produced, recycled, and reused onboard.
• Multi-Source Renewable Energy:
  Wave energy (up to 500 kW peak), solar concentrators, photovoltaic panels, biogas, and robust power storage (iron-nickel batteries, pneumatic accumulators).
• Autonomous Food Production:
  Advanced aquaponics, hydroponics, bioreactors for algae, insect farms, micro-livestock, perennial crops, and genetically stable breeding lines.
• Onboard Manufacturing:
  Local mini-factory for maintenance, repair, and the production of bioplastics, composites, tools, and replacement parts using only platform resources.
• Zero-Import Hygiene and Chemicals:
  All soaps, surfactants, packaging, and sanitary products are produced on the platform using bio-based and biodegradable materials.
• Fail-Safe Engineering:
  Pneumatic and hydraulic automation for all critical systems, manual override for every vital function, and multi-level redundancy for safety and evacuation.
• Modularity and Scalability:
  Designed for construction and maintenance anywhere on the coast, easily scalable to larger populations or linked platforms.

Mission

Demonstrate that modern, comfortable, and truly sustainable life is possible at sea — without dependence on external supplies, with minimal environmental impact, and using only technologies reproducible from locally available resources.
