An Eco-house That Even Takes You Places!
This one’s specially for those who live in the fast lane. A group of ingenious engineers have created the world’s first walking house. Built on six hydraulic legs that can walk, this 60 meters high structure is just right for traveller in you.
Fuelled by the sun and the wind, this house may be the answer to all our monetary problems. The house is 3.5 meter high (fit enough for four people) and comes with a living room, kitchen, composting toilet, bed, wood stove and a mainframe computer that controls the legs.
Furniture is an integrated part of the structure. Not only this, there is a system for collecting rain water. A small greenhouse unit can also be added to provide food.
And now we come to most important part. The pod-like structure can walk at the human walking pace and is moveable on all terrains.
By the way, the prototype cost around $49,000 US (£30,000) to build, but the designers believe it could be constructed for much less than that.
