Endless Paradigm

Developed to try to reduce the damage from earthquakes over in Japan.
The house has a system underneath, which, when triggered by a detector, will thrust air underneath and levitate the house a bit.

IMO seems to be an overkill solution, and I can't really see it working on highrise buildings, but cool nonetheless.

Maybe. Depends on the system that is used to levitate it.

Mebbe Japan could def use this,. mebbe not for homes,..

High-Powered magnets would be funnier.

Pretty cool. I wonder how many people could afford it though.

Id lure an unsuspecting victim ( I uh.... mean friend :) ) into my house while its on the ground, then raise it up.

Then when they leave later id distract em somehow so they wouldnt notice the house raised up a little, then watch em fall XD

Why would I? I already have a perfectly good house that I live in and it's stuck on the ground. Why fix somethin' that ain't broke?

Im pretty sure its to keep Earthquakes from breaking your house.

I live nowhere near earthquakes and my house is on a hill away from floods too.

I don't want this but good for the people living in areas where there is lots of earthquake activity.
