The Future of Antarctica's "Floating World"

The Future of Antarctica's "Floating World"

The British Daily Mail reported that the glaciers on Earth are melting at an unprecedented rate, and this problem has become more and more serious. Just as policymakers were struggling with this, a group of French students thought they had come up with a solution similar to the water world. This concept, named Arctic Harvest, envisions the creation of large villages and towns floating on the Antarctic waters that can “swallow” the glaciers.

They hope that the floating hydroponic community can help grow food in Greenland, which is currently importing almost all products from abroad. “The floating community can accommodate 800 people, which is inspired by the compact urban form of the Greenland village.” said Meriem Chabani, a student at the National Institute of Higher Architecture and Design in Marrakech, Paris, France.

Joe Banny and her classmates Etienne Chobaux, John Edom, and Maeva Lerner, said that the Greenland Glacier has supported such a rich ecosystem that inspired them Inspiration comes.

"Icebergs are oasis," said Joe Baini. “For us, the current situation seems to be that while Greenland has huge resources, on the other hand there is a huge shortage of local production.”

Arctic harvesting based on circular designs will float on water and send glaciers to the central harbor. Fresh water from the glaciers will enter the hydroponic greenhouse for growing fruits and vegetables, which will be transported to various coastal towns.

“The center of the harbor is the center of the harvesting process, the center of sustainable energy production, and also an ice garden, providing residents with social spaces and floating public greenhouses.” said Qiao Bani.

The Arctic harvest of this less thruster will float with the currents, and they tend to hover around the currents of Greenland and Labrador coast. In the long summer, the outer circular solar panels will provide power for plants and people. At the same time, an infiltration system—using a combination of salt water and fresh water—will fill the energy gap and provide continuous power to the community.

This conceptual design last year won the first prize in the category of "Marine Innovation and Architecture" in the Jacobello Foundation International Architectural Design Competition. The research team is working with Polarisk Analytics, a consulting firm based in London, the main research polar region in the United Kingdom, to further develop this concept.

Power fitting Db Type Adjusting Plate is one Steel Plate with many holes but different hole distance; 
it is applicable to insulation fitting for adjusting the length of twin-connecting or parallel-connecting insulator string through series connection with insulator string. The adjusting plate is also serially connected with the section of bundled conductor between connecting fitting & tension clamp subjected to tension insulator string as the looseness adjustment of two pieces of bundled conductor.
Link Fitting 
Pt Type Adjusting Plate is exclusively used for twin-connected rotation angle insulator string & tension insulator string. On usage, the adjustment of length to adjusting plate depends upon the rotation angle of angle tower to calculate the distance length between the two suspending points subjected to insulator string.PT Type Adjusting Plate1b941d1a40b20201ff0c8b9c6d
