An apparatus attached to the underside of a barge, a boat, a ship, a buoyant marine structure, and/or the like may include a plurality of conduits. A configuration of the plurality of conduits may increase the velocity of water moving, for example, at a high velocity due to the buoyant force (upward force) under the barge, the boat, the ship, the buoyant marine structure, and/or the like. The water, due to the increased velocity, may cause a plurality of hydroelectric generators to produce a vast amount of electricity and/or power.

A floating platform, the platform including a plurality of floating chambers, wherein each chamber comprises a plurality of shipping containers, each container having a door at a first end and an opposing panel at a second end, the containers placed one above the other such that a door of one container is connected to an opposing panel of another container.

A water-buoyant structure formed from concrete is disclosed. The structure comprises an outer wall that surrounds a perimeter of the structure and an inner wall separated from the outer wall by a cavity, such that the cavity extends for the perimeter of the structure. Separating the cavity can provide sufficient buoyancy to the structure to allow 5 the structure to float. The combination of outer and inner walls may also provide increased resistance to catastrophic damage in the event of an impact (e.g. the inner wall may remain intact).

An idea to use prefabricated modular space unit (FIG. 1) that can be used singularly or combined in plurality (FIG. 2) to form mega floating or underwater architectural buildings & civil structures and support systems for human civilisation. This patent discloses a nova idea to define a standard building system and disclosure of an invention (1) and methodology (2) claims herein to support the nova idea to define a building standard system term as “Modular Space Unit” aka. “The invention” for building in the ocean, sea & water bodies for human civilizations.

A house is provided. The house includes a base and a roof. The roof is attached to the base. The base has sufficient buoyancy to enable the house to float on water.

The present invention relates to a submerged-floating type water house. The house comprises: a first lower side part and a second lower side part formed symmetrically with respect to each other; a first upper side part and a second upper side part formed symmetrically and extending from the first lower side part and the second lower side part; and a front part and a rear part formed in front of and in back of the first lower side part and second lower side part and the first upper side part and second upper side part, thereby forming a rhombic-shaped body and floating in water.

A floating territory made of a semi-rigid floating structure. The structure is able to follow the upward and downward movement of the waves. It can be installed as well close to the shores as in high sea, carrying a rigid structure. Said rigid structure acts like a bridge between the waves and provides a substantially stable surface for the installation of structures for human activity. Said rigid structure remains above the water level. The floating territory can be stabilized in position dynamically by propellers compensating the movement of the streams and/or winds, or by submersed weights attached to said rigid structure, or by pillars planted in the ground attached to said rigid structure. This leaves a vertical freedom of movement to follow the movement of the waves or the tides.

A pod system for use with a houseboat assembly is disclosed herein, with the pod system comprising a first pod and a second pod. The first pod and the second pod are configured to be selectively disposed in a pod slot defined by the houseboat assembly. The first pod is generally free of any locomotive capabilities, while the second pod includes a movement element. When the second pod is disposed in the pod slot, the movement element may be actuated from a helm of the houseboat assembly to impart locomotive capabilities to the houseboat assembly. When locomotive capabilities are not desired, the second pod may be replaced by the first pod in the pod slot. Connectors are provided on the houseboat assembly, first pod, and second pod to removably secure the first pod and the second pod in the pod slot as desired.
