The project’s secret weapon is a technology known as the Dynamic Tension Ring. Surrounding the entire perimeter of the city is a submerged curtain of titanium-reinforced fabric. When a storm approaches, sensors detect the change in barometric pressure and the ring automatically tightens, pulling the edges of the platform downward slightly. This creates a concave shape, allowing the giant rogue waves to wash over the top decks rather than crashing into the walls. xfloater project
Project Overview
Safety Improvements: By using ultrashort laser pulses, the "safety distance" required between the floater and the retina can be reduced compared to traditional methods. Project Partners and Support Interesting topic
