Abstract
Marine habitation units are disclosed for use in the open sea. Each unit includes a habitable chamber; a column including a first end, and a second end, opposite the first end, the second end for mounting in a sea bed; and, and, a segment in communication with the habitable chamber, and the first end of the column. The segment is moveable both substantially vertically, and, rotatably, allowing the wherein the habitable chamber and the column to move substantially vertically, and, rotatably, with respect to each other.
Claims22
A marine habitation system comprising:
- a habitable chamber;
- a monopole including a single column, the column including a first end, and a second end, opposite the first end, the second end for mounting in a sea bed;
- a segment in communication with 1) the habitable chamber, and 2) the first end of the column;
- and,
- at least one motor for generating forces to move the segment both substantially vertically, and, rotatably, wherein the habitable chamber and the column are moveable with respect to each other:
- 1) substantially vertically, and, 2) rotatably.
A method for constructing a marine habitation system comprising:
- obtaining a habitable chamber, a monopole including a single column, the column including oppositely disposed first and second ends, a segment in communication with:
- 1) the habitable chamber, and 2) the first end of the column;
- and, at least one motor for generating forces to move the segment both substantially vertically, and, rotatably;
- mounting the second end of the column in a sea bed;
- and,
- placing the segment intermediate to, and into communication with, the habitable chamber and the first end of the column, such that the habitable chamber and the column are moveable with respect to each other substantially vertically, and, in a rotatable manner, by the forces generated by the at least one motor on the segment.
