But, all that glitters is not plastic - read below
LONDON (AlertNet) - Two British engineers have scooped a global
innovation award for an inflatable concrete tent, designed for rapid
deployment in disaster zones, but aid workers differ on its practical
viability.
I remember years ago the Marine Corps experimenting with structures whose
main characteristic was inflation.
The structure - as I recall a 12x12' dome - came in two boxes. The first
contained a balloon in the desired shape and an air compressor. The second
largish box contained some spray-on foam.
After the "tent" was inflated, the air compressor was hooked up to the foam
machine and about a foot of expanding foam (think Great Stuff) was slathered
over the plastic bubble. The foam set up rather quickly and doors could be
cut with a saw.
Think igloo.
The Marines discarded the idea.
