Japan proposed the Ocean Spiral become a giant underwater city

what will happen if the legend of the lost city of Atlantis in the paper by screenplay from Kevin Costner, 1995 through the films "Waterworld"?

Perhaps the city as The Ocean Hooks-- a metropolitan cities under water to produce energy from the bottom of the sea and able to provide the house and accommodation to 5,000.

Sure, such as blue sky thinking will only seem plausible in the world of Hollywood CGI, but this is the futuristic concept proposed by the Japanese construction company Shimizu Corp.

Ilustration The Ocean the spiral

In accordance with what is in the gospel and the decision by the company is currently looking for experts from the University of Tokyo,this project in the initiate by the ministry of the Japanese government and energy companies to make this project.

Shimizu also said that the projects such as The Ocean the spiral may need to be required for the future to face increasing global issues such as rising sea levels and the need to create a new clean energy sources.

The division zone under the sea

Zone is divided into three zones special structure will test all the way to destroy the black depth 2.8 miles under the sea off the coast of Japan.

A giant sphere with a diameter of 500 meters (1,640 feet) located below the surface will form the first part and the house residential zone, business and hotel.

This area will be connected to the nine-mile hooks (Part 2) that go down to the bottom of the ocean where a submarine port of the sea and the plant (Part 3) will create the energy needed for the power of the vehicle with the use of micro-organisms that turn carbon dioxide into methane.

If it is not enough high-tech power plants, located along the spiral will then use the difference in temperature of the water of the sea to create additional energy by applying the thermal conversion technology.

Shimizu has a history of imaginative, high concept including space hotel project and floating city botanical.

The company also said that The Ocean hooks will take five years to build and for the perfection of the necessary technology will be ready in 15 years.

Funding and intensive training we will soon prepare until the time to arrive at the time.
