Manned Cloud - The Floating Hotel

TRAVELING AROUND THE WORLD ON A FLOATING HOTEL might be possible by 2020.
French designer, Jean-Marie Massaud, has been working in conjunction with the French National Office of Airship Research on the project since 2005.
The airship is a floating hotel called the Manned Cloud.

It will cruise at a speed of 80 mph (130 km/h) and 18,000ft above sea level. It could circle the earth in about ten days.

It will travel for 3,100 miles (almost 5,000 km) before needing to be refueled.

It is an ecologically friendly way to travel, leaving little impact on the environment without the need for hotels, according to the promoters. It could land for a few days or for a week if there is a big event going on.

The Manned Cloud is almost 700ft long, 270ft wide and 170ft deep. It has a restaurant, a library, a lounge and a gym on the first deck. On the second level there will be 20 passenger rooms, terraces with panoramic windows, a spa and a bar room.

The airship is powered by a giant rear propeller and also has two further engines pointing downwards for vertical take-off.

Dutchman Wim Hof: Doesn’t Feel Cold - Iceman

Dutchman Wim Hof: Doesn’t Feel Cold - Iceman

Dutchman Wim Hof, also known as the Iceman, is the man that swam under ice, and stood in bins filled with ice. He climbed the Mt. Blanc in shorts in the icy cold, harvested world records and always stands for new challenges. Scientists can’t really explain it, but the 48-year-old Dutchman is able to withstand, and even thrive, in temperatures that could be fatal to the average person.

Dutchman Wim Hof set a Guinness World Record by swam 57.5 m. (188.6 ft.) under three feet of an ice lake near the Finnish village of Kolari, deep inside the Arctic Circle on March 16, 2000. Using no special equipment, he wore only swim shorts and a pair of goggles! It's enough to make you shiver just watching it!

Walking House to take to the streets

Buying a house is one of the most important investment decisions one can ever make, but apart from a trailer, how many of us own homes that can move about? The Walking Home concept is one of the more interesting ones we have come across lately - this is actually a modular dwelling system that allows one to live a peaceful, nomadic life by going through the city’s streets or vast, rolling hills without causing too much of an impact on the environment. After all, the Walking House relies on solar panels embedded all over its body to provide energy within, with small windmills helping it out as well. Water is collected from rainfall, so we would advice staying in areas where there is large amounts of rainfall each year. Inside, expect to live out a spartan lifestyle as you get a basic living module with a composting toilet system, a small wood burning stove and a solar-powered water heater.
