Levitating house of Japan!

Japan is working on developing a special technology that allows homes to rise above ground enough to protect the home in case of earthquakes.

Japanese company, Air Danshin Systems Inc., is developing "levitating" houses that use compressed air to lift homes off the ground when an earthquake strikes, reducing damage from seismic shocks.

During normal times, the house sits on a deflated airbag.

When sensors detect a tremor, the compressor inflates the airbag, lifting the house a few centimeters off its foundation.

The house hovers during the quake, and then deflates and settles back down.

The system has already proven effective, keeping homes undamaged during a 7.3-magnitude earthquake in 2021.
