"Structural Innovation of Sphere Secure: A Next-Generation Seismic and Flood-Resistant Capsule"
■ 1. Seismic Stability through Spherical Geometry
Sphere Secure is based on a spherical structural design, considered one of the most resilient forms in both natural and artificial architecture.
Unlike angular structures, a sphere distributes impact evenly across its surface, minimizing localized stress points during seismic events.
This geometric property dramatically enhances its resistance to earthquakes, allowing the capsule to remain intact under extreme shaking or collapsing environments.
■ 2. Multi-Layered Material Composition
The core body is made from 12 to 14 centimeters of expanded polystyrene foam, chosen for its lightweight, insulating, and buoyant properties.
This material helps maintain internal temperature stability, even in environments as cold as –40°C, and provides essential buoyancy in flood conditions.
The outer shell is coated with a 2mm thick layer of polyurea resin, a high-performance material known for its shock absorption, waterproofing, and blast resistance.
Polyurea has been trusted by the U.S. Department of Defense and is tested to withstand the impact of a 900kg object dropped from 10 meters.
■ 3. Waterproof and Tsunami-Resistant Design
Sphere Secure features a sealed, waterproof structure that prevents water ingress even during extreme flood or tsunami events.
Thanks to the buoyancy of the polystyrene core, the capsule is designed to float and drift safely, protecting its occupants inside.
Optional GPS and beacon systems can be embedded to enable real-time rescue tracking, ensuring occupants can be located and rescued effectively in post-disaster scenarios.
■ 4. Dual Functionality: Emergency Shelter and Daily Use
The interior is designed to provide a comfortable and safe environment during disasters, accommodating an entire family.
It includes insulated flooring and walls, and can be equipped with power storage, air filtration, and emergency supplies for multi-day survival.
In peacetime, Sphere Secure serves as a multi-purpose private space—a home theater, karaoke booth, or telework pod.
This dual-use concept makes it an ideal installation for schools, public facilities, or remote communities, offering safety without sacrificing utility.
■ 5. Integrated Disaster Education through XR
Sphere Secure can be equipped with VR, AR, and MR systems to simulate realistic disaster scenarios.
These immersive experiences allow users to train for earthquakes, fires, and emergency evacuations in a controlled environment.
This makes Sphere Secure a platform not only for survival but also for disaster awareness and education, especially for children and elderly populations.
It represents a new model for experiential learning and emergency preparedness.
