Float

摘要

The float invention contains bodies made of porous, silicate-containing materials. It begins therefore with a floating block in an ornamental pond, progresses to a bathing island in the village pond and can be extended via a lighthouse island in the reed area to the construction of inhabitable atoll islands in the ice-free high sea. Ultimately, with coordination with international interests, in particular seafaring, large sections of the ocean can be converted into inhabitable areas. Glass residues and glass bases with a specific gravity of 2.2-3.1 g/cm<3> are, to manufacture the blocks, heated above 800@C until vaporisation of an additive such as soot, carbonised paper, plastics, which additive forms bubbles on further raising of the temperature, and at the same time waste materials can also be included. The tempered closed blocks can, walled together, be sealed by bitumen masses and pressed and anchored in steel reinforcements and metal shells. High-seaworthy atoll-like islands have floodwater channels in the interior, glass-roof greenhouses, harbour gates, vertical shafts through which, in the swell, water runs off and generates energy etc.
