Description
[0001] Title: Novel Prefabricated Amphibious Building, System and Methods thereof. FIELD OF THE INVENTION: The general field of the invention pertains to prefabricated buildings for living and working environments on land and on water. The structures are especially designed to be flood, earthquake, and wind resistant. BACKGROUND: Prefabricated buildings, also known as "modular homes", "prefabricated homes" or manufactured homes, are manufactured at one location and then transported to a destination location. Some types of rapidly erected buildings are built on site, using special rapid building technologies such as on site casting and rapid forming materials. These homes are usually faster to build and cheaper than conventional buildings, thus making them an option of choice for many people. The less time required in manufacturing and ease of shifting is a factor driving the demand for prefabricated homes. The global prefabricated homes market valuation is USD 149.52 Billion in 2022. The market is further expected to surpass a valuation of USD 288.68 Billion by end of 2032. The industry is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 6.8% in the forecast period. There is much interest in the widespread use of prefabricated homes as an alternative to conventional housing, yet challenges remain, including design, energy and water supply, choice of materials, sustainability, ease of manufacture and transportation to site, resistance to bad weather and versatility. Attempts at providing solutions include the following: US20100183374A1,EWERS JAMES J NEUMANN FRANCIS P Flood / wind resistant building The proposed invention is the building design application of a foundation system that is flood and wind resistant.

The present invention discloses a new light construction methodology based upon an assembly line of lego -like pieces of composite materials, by which we mean the pieces are standardized and easily fitted together pieces. The technology can save costs of current light work construction existing approaches in assembly, shipment, installment, manufacturing, and maintenance Since light construction is the wave of the Future, the present invention offers great potential for cheaper faster, and more durable housing. The present invention discloses a prefabricated, easily transportable, self contained unit, usable as a mobile home or office. Embodiments of the invention can be, for example, a wide, bright portable loft structure of approximately 140 square meters on one level with an attic of the same size. The interior floor plan can be divided according to specific needs and customized to the owners design aesthetic. The unit is provided with the facility to float on water or to secure on land as a structure on pillars. The disclosed prefabricated unit has many applications and can be used as a residence, for sailing, as a vacation home, as an amphibious house for flood areas or as a low-maintenance business solution. The units are structured to withstand years of use at sea and on land, even in extreme weather conditions. In some embodiments of the invention, the units may be interconnected in a modular fashion. A core embodiment of the invention is a prefabricated monocoque shell elevated building. The building is constructed of the following: An elongated monocoque structure parallel to the ground for housing living or working quarters. The elongated monocoque structure can be framed or frameless. A stilted platform for anchoring said structure to the ground and supporting said structure above the ground An overhead frame or mast structure for mounting solar panels, and / or telecommunication equipment and other accessories. The elevated structure has an airgap between the floor and the ground. The outer floor of the monocoque structure is optimally designed to resist the increased wind pressure under the floor of the monocoque shell during high wind through the air gap. Reference is now made to fig 1, showing a longitudinal side on view of a building according to the core principles of the present invention. The building comprises a monocoque structure 110 / 130 for housing living or working quarters. The monocoque stands upon stilted platforms 120 which are easily erected and sunk into the ground for appropriate anchoring. The platform stands upon stilts, legs, columns or pillars which may be telescopic, flexible or rigid, hollow or not. The stilts, columns or pillars may be pipe-like for channeling or storing water. The stilts, legs, columns or pillars may be sunk directly into the ground, and / or connected to pads, slabs, anchors, cables. Reference is now made to fig 2 showing the front end view of the above mentioned prefabricated monocoque shell elevated building. A retractable staircase 140 is provided. Reference is now made to fig 3 showing a perspective view of the above mentioned prefabricated monocoque shell elevated building. Living / working 110 / 130 quarters are shown. It should be noted that the Living / working extend along the entire length of the above ground structure, making maximum use of available space. Reference is now made to fig 4 showing a longitudinal side view of above mentioned prefabricated monocoque shell elevated building with a mast arrangement 150 supporting solar panels 160. Reference is now made to fig 5 showing an overhead plan view of the present invention. The central stairs 140 can be seen and 2 sets of solar panels 160 Reference is now made to fig 6 showing a perspective view of the above mentioned prefabricated monocoque shell elevated building.

These modules can be additional living quarters, working quarters, recreational quarters for sun bathing, swimming pool, viewing studio, self- sustaining aerial roof kitchen garden, hothouse, or greenhouse. 170 is shown. Removable walls 180, doors, flaps and windows are shown surrounding the ground floor. Reference is now made to fig 7 showing the front view of the above mentioned prefabricated monocoque shell elevated building. Reference is now made to fig 8 showing a side longitudinal view with caterpillar track 190 for propelling the aforementioned prefabricated monocoque shell elevated building on land. This is useful for moving amphibious variants of the present invention from the sandy shore to the sea. When not in operation, the caterpillar track is housed within the hull or floatation body 230. Wall and floor sections of the hull or floatation body 230 can be opened in order for the caterpillar track 190 to engage with the ground. It is herein acknowledged that the drive 210 of the caterpillar track in some embodiments of the present invention is an electric motor at least partially powered by electricity from the solar panels. Another novel aspect of the present invention is that amphibious embodiments have living and working quarters extending the length and breadth of the above surface section of the structure. It is herein referenced that amphibious, waterborne, watergoing , seagoing, riverine and aquatic embodiments of the present invention can be termed as craft, vessels or boats as well as above mentioned prefabricated monocoque or semimonocoque shell elevated building. Reference is now made to fig 9 showing a side longitudinal view with a propeller 200 for propelling the aforementioned prefabricated monocoque shell elevated building in water. In some embodiments of the present invention the propeller is at least partially powered by electricity from the solar panels. Reference is now made to fig 10 showing a watergoing embodiment of the present invention, and it is herein acknowledged that, in some embodiments of the invention the prefabricated monocoque shell elevated building may travel directly on water without being supported by stilts or pillars. In this embodiment, the prefabricated monocoque shell elevated building provided with two hulls configured to be submerged at all times below the waterline 260 during normal operations. Such a configuration is known as a Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull or SWATH configuration. The twin-hull design provides a stable platform and large, broad decks. Compared with conventional catamarans, SWATH vessels have more surface drag, but less wave drag and is less sensitive to choppy waters. They are less susceptible to wave motion, and this is an advantage when the main occupation of the inhabitants of the waterborne prefabricated monocoque shell elevated building is not active sailing, but general living activities and working. Reference is now made to fig.11 showing embodiments of the present invention with 220 or 220. The hulls are below the waterline in the SWATH configuration. Aquatic, waterborne, amphibious, riverine, marine or sea going embodiments of the present invention may have stilts, legs, columns or pillars connected to hulls, floats, anchors or buoys which may be in SWATH configuration or not. In some embodiments of the present invention the living / working quarters are buoyant and can be detached for the platforms and drift or drive in water. This is particularly useful in the case of an area that is suddenly flooded. In some watergoing embodiments of the invention there are four sailing masts, one at each corner of the craft. The disposition of the four sails are useful for maneuverability, speed, and harnessing wind power, and are described below as non- limiting examples. Fig 12 is a schematic illustration of sails 300 in Broad Reach configuration, in which the sail is transitioning to primarily propelling the craft with drag with the wind behind the sail. Fig 13 is a schematic illustration of sails 300 in Close Reach configuration, in which the sail generates lift to power the craft. Fig 14 is a schematic illustration of sails 300 in Close-hauled configuration where the craft is sailing as close to the wind as its sails can generate lift (like a wing) to power the craft. Fig 15 is a schematic illustration of sails 300 configuration when the craft is running down- wind where the craft has the wind coming from behind, perpendicular to the sail, and generating power through drag. Fig 16 is a schematic illustration of sails 300 in a kite rig configuration. It is herein acknowledged that some embodiments of the present invention can have sails rigged in Kite mode. This type of sail arrangement is described below: In some embodiments of the present invention Kite rigs are used as wind-assisted propulsion systems for propelling the waterborne prefabricated monocoque shell elevated building. Kite sails are flown from kite control lines, held at an angle to the wind. The kite control lines may be attached to the masts or other parts of the building. An advantage of the kite rigging in the present invention is that the building may sail upwind by tacking. The kite develops lift and drag, pulling the building. The vector of the kite's pull is added to the forces produced by the vessel (water resistance against the hull, force of wheels against the ground, etc.) to move the vessel in the desired direction. Windspeed increases with height, allowing kites to develop substantially more thrust per unit area than a conventional sail. Winds are also steadier and less turbulent higher up. Kites may be adjusted with respect to the wind, manually or by an automated system. A kite cannot stay aloft when there is no wind, and must be re-launched. Fig 17 is a top view of an embodiment of the present invention with kite rigged sail, and fig 18 is a side view. Fig 19 is a perspective illustration of sails arranged in longitudinal series 300 Fig 20 illustrates an external water pipe configuration for providing aircooled water to the air conditioning system in an embodiment of the present invention, showing the run-off surface to the gutter 280 and then into the water collection pipes 200. Fig 21 is a perspective view of a unique wind power based air cooling and air conditioning arrangement using the wind power generated by the sails 300. A spiral or serpentine water piping system 320 runs up and down the mast with pipes running into the living quarters of the craft. Wind, directed by the sail, is directed onto the piping system 320 and cools the water in the pipe, with no use of external fossil fuel energy needed. It is herein acknowledged that this wind power based air conditioning system can be fitted to terrestrial, watergoing or amphibious embodiments of the present invention. It is further herein acknowledged that the above mentioned wind power based air conditioning system may be augmented by solar powered or battery powered pumps. It is further acknowledged herein that in some embodiments of the present invention wind powered turbines providing a power source, may be installed on the terrestrial, amphibious and waterborne embodiments prefabricated building of the present invention. Reference is now made to the unique anchoring technology of embodiments of the present invention. Depending on the type of ground that the building is to located, an efficient, strong and easily assemble to use anchoring and foundation assembly method is used: As shown in fig 22, a rigid or semi rigid sleeve 241 is sunk into a hollow bore in the ground. A post hole auger-like shaft 242 comprising spiral diggers 244 horizontal stabilizers 245 and connection link 246 is placed in the hollow bore until most of the shaft is submerged, leaving only the connection link (for coupling to the above ground. Concrete or other material is poured into the bore, allowed to set or settle, and the connection link is coupled to the above ground pillars upon which the building stands. In other embodiments of the invention the auger-like shaft extends above ground and is directly coupled to the building. In some embodiments of the invention the shaft may be screwed, manually or with the aid of a drill, into loose sandy soil directly, without making a bore hole. Fig 23 illustrate a multilevel sectioned 410 roof garden 400 which can be located on the roof of the prefabricated building. Removable enclosures may be placed around the garden sections and upon the roof, as required. Reference is now made to Fig 24, a watergoing embodiment of the prefabricated shell elevated building structure in kite formation illustrating the resistance to capsize provided by the kite structure. It can be seen that rising air 510, or air trapped within the kite structure provides resistance to side winds or currents which would cause the structure to capsize. Technological innovations incorporated in embodiments of the present invention: Reference is herein made to the use of composite materials for all parts of the house - inside and outside, for all the accessories and facilities of the house. Resistance to storm and wind damage: The living quarters of the present invention is elevated upon at least one stilted platform 120, to reduce the adverse effects of flooding and heavy snow. By elevating the structure and creating air gap underneath the floor, the wind velocity increases and the aerodynamics change resulting in varying wind loading and pressure distribution that are different from a structure laid upon the ground. The underside of the building is aerodynamically designed to take the high velocity wind conditions into account. Earthquake resistance As mentioned above, the living quarters stands upon pillars or stilts. In some embodiments the pillars or stilts are configured for flexibility during earthquakes. In some embodiments of the invention concrete columns deep in the ground form bases for the four legs of the structure. Mechanisms and configurations for earthquake resistance may include any or all of the following: Construction from materials with ductile material which can undergo large deformations without failing so that the structure can endure large lateral displacements imposed by ground shaking such as those in an earthquake or abrupt ground disturbance. In some embodiments of the invention the structure is mounted on pads that separate the building from the ground. As the pads move, the building stays substantially still during seismic events. In other embodiments of the present invention a solid foundation slab made of reinforced concrete and crisscrossing strips is placed atop an intermediate cushion of sand. In other embodiments graphene coating on the upper surface of the pads may be used. In some embodiments seismic dampers are used to absorb destructive energy. Seismic Dampers are used in damping the oscillations of a building during an earthquake. There are many types of dampers for buildings, and damping through friction tends to be one of the most efficient methods of dissipating seismic energy. The friction damper operates by dissipating kinetic energy through friction. Several types of seismic dampers are in use, namely viscous damper, friction damper, yielding damper, magnetic damper, and tuned mass damper yielding dampers. In some embodiments of the present invention, as in fig xxxx the walls on the ground floor can detach from the columns in high winds, snow movement, or floods to preserve the integrity and location of the main living / workers quarters structure In some embodiments of the present invention the structure is hydrodynamically configured to be tsunami-proof through its design integrity, and will withstand and survive the forces of a tsunami wave or extreme storm surge. The main structure can be detached from the stilts and platforms during a flood for safe buoyancy and floatation. Propellers can move the structure through the water. Embodiments of the structure are adapted to be towed on land or water. The composition of the materials and the cast construction inside the shell are selected to provide resistance to extremely heavy loads, insulation from fire, noise, heat and cold. Exemplary Calculations of wind forces on building structures of the present invention. Calculation of wind forces on a structure The following is a calculation of wind forces on a structure standing on land according to Israeli standard 414, based on: EN 1991-1-2005 Eurocode 1 Actions on structures – Part 1-4 General Actions –Wind actions CEN European committee for standardization.2005 The structure is substantially as described in the figs.1-12 and is composed of the appropriate materials.

Embodiments of the present invention comprise masts connected to each other which can be used to increase the volume of living space with closure in the sail fabric, to store rain water and dew for circulating heating and cooling air, drinking and cooling and heating water and the supplying to self sustaining garden or greenhouse facilities on the structure. In some embodiments of the invention, apertures are provided in ceiling of the living / working quarters for the entry of sunlight, including independent lighting, heating and charging devices. Solar panels are provided for economical day lighting and indoor and outdoor night lighting. Solar energy from the panels is used to charge storage batteries for powering turbines, pumps, heating, refrigeration. The building is equipped for transferring various data from the building, mobile smart home command, fire alarm, vibration sensors for control (to maintain children on board, burglary alert and more). Light sensors and cameras may also be provided. Accessories for off-grid living are adapted to the structure for example a greenhouse to which more units can be added for growing vegetables It is apparent from the embodiments herein exemplified that the structure of the present invention can be adapted in several ways: The structure can be terrestrial and river and sea going. The marine and aquatic attachments and legs can be assembled and disassembled unlimited times. The structure may be adapted for floating in very shallow water and also for sailing in deeper waters. On each side of the structure, the legs 120 may be covered with a hydrodynamic cover that enables them to function as a fin 120a, to the bottom of which can be added a flotation body 230.
