Moving House
“Soft computing” is giving into imagination
and if you are armed with imagination, the world lies at your feet.
I
believe that in today’s India with a growing population of 1.2 billion, every
family, big or small, rural or urban, would be hard pressed for a sizable
house. But for an average middle class Indian family to build a conventional
house is prohibitively costly. And for the rural poor and those below the
poverty line, house is sometime a dream.
But I have a dream that houses could be
made in an unconventional way, in a way that would make it easier to build the
parts in a short time and can be quickly dismantled whenever there is a need to
shift to a new place.
Modern textile industries can be exploited
to weave tough flexible material which can be strutted in the inside by flat
aluminum plates. A wall, for example can be made up of such two layers like
that of a bag that has no opening. Now such a bag can be inflated with an
electric air pump. If every wall of a house can be fitted with such inflatable
materials with partitions, lofts, and floorings, living rooms, kitchen, toilets
and sitting rooms could be erected in a couple of hours.
A whole staircase, for example, can be
pre-fabricated and can be inflated and put in place in half an hour.
One can imagine that given a place to build
a house, the textile material can be transported in a cart like vehicle easily.
Man power needed for such installation would also be minimal.
In my opinion, this would be an environment
friendly device. Today, for houses and multi storey buildings, acres of forest
land are being destroyed, as trees cannot walk from one place to another but we
can help the mankind by this modern technology which could make the houses to
walk. It is so portable that one could have never imagined.
Within the parts of inflated walls, there
are some folded attached parts within it which can be used as book shelves and
various types of racks even for keeping show pieces.
The entire house would be very strong as we
are using the strength property of the fiber material and so we can easily keep
our essential things like wardrobe, table and almirahs.
We can make almirah, beds and also tables
using wooden parts which would be like folding chairs. Each one of the
important things would be made such that within some minutes we can open its
folds and keep it in its original condition.
There would be many switches in the power
house where there would be switches for opening and closing the doors and
windows automatically. Through one switch, fans and lights would be on. One can
be used to open the wardrobe for clothes. We don’t need so many clothes as one
dress can be made up of different designs and colors. Some battery connections
can be fitted in the clothes and in a very fashionable style the switches would
be fitted in belts and pockets then the dress would light according to our
wish. This method can also be applied for the window curtains and bed-sheets.
Even the room colors can be changed by using some switch by proper internal
circuits and soft wares.
Inside the house, book shelves, racks,
almirahs, wardrobes and tables can be parts of the walls, floors and lofts.
Many of these would be built into the structures and would come into existence
when the house structure is erected.
Inflatable chairs, sofas and tables can be
used which would be light, durable and can be easily dismantled when needed.
Lighting in the walls and floors can be
planned based on electronic gadgets. These if properly installed can change the
color of the walls and floors to our own liking.
During the rainy season, one can have a
device to store the rain water and use the same not only for drinking, cooking
and gardening but also to use its to turn tiny hydroelectric generators to
harvest power for internal lighting.
Waste is a household becomes a nuisance
because it has to be disposed of and many a time one litters and soils the
surrounding. But on the other hand, if such waste, be it paper , vegetables ,
or human excreta, can be recycled to generate power and other useful items,
then our surroundings would remain free from filth.
Moving houses can be made safe from
burglars and thieves by installing electronic gadgets that would recognize foreign
faces and fingerprints. Such devices would warn the inmates in time against
burglary.
In my opinion such moving houses would be
deemed as environment friendly as acres and acres of forest land could be saved
from being cleared for man’s habitation.
Electric power supply is internally
connected to the wall which is made up of insulated materials.
Rain water can be stored; we have a
technology that during rainy season the roof top is linked to the internal
pipes which can be used during water scarcity.
Our daily waste are not being wasted but
recycled and using a machine we convert into different types of energy which we
can use in kitchen and lightening purpose.
Water supply pipes are externally connected
by materials which are light and it gives a good outlook to the entire house.
Our garden drains would be fitted with micro hydel electric generators, these
would function whenever there is a flow of water from kitchen, bathroom and
toilets. The electricity generated would help to light a few bulbs inside the
house.
Even we have not left out to think about
the earthing and grounding safety by installing some materials which can save
us from thunders and lightening.
Even for thieves and robbers, we have
provided an alarming system which consists of a web cam that scans everyone who
enters into our entrance.
