The outline of our solution

We propose a group of large floating islands in a spiral shape surrounded by a sea defense wall. The wall being constructed on many island units, and being both adjustable and expandable by adding extra parts. the shape of this wall being designed to turn over waves. The wall contains chambers and turbines arranged so as to convert even the smallest swell of the ocean into electricity. The upper parts of the walls also contains accommodation, mainly resort complexes. Sticking both up and down into the ocean from two large islands are giant wings that can be used like large sails so as to hold the position or move the complex, additional motivation is available from electrical motors if necessary. Electric power also drives desalination plants to make water and plants that split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen is stored as a form of ancillary power running engines. Small craft and any other vehicles are run either on electrical power of Hydrogen. The only fuel oil that has to be imported is for powering aircraft at the airport.

The Islands can be constructed of various materials, but most will be based on a concrete and resin. each island is made of many cells, so that any leakage does not threaten the structure.

The principle objective of the islands is to build upon, but being hollow structures, factories and some constructions can be placed within them where windows are not needed. Noisy places, ie airport, sports, port etc will be collected together. Aircraft will come in over and take off over service areas. All principle services will be duplicated, with double the capacity necessary.

The islands will be connected with flexible standard connectors, carrying all support services. Bridges will connect islands both in a spiral and some links to and from the center.

The kingdom will have a resort and resort facilities, but these areas will be able to be isolated through checkpoints after a certain time, so that their activities do not disturb other residents.

A spiral structure with expanding outside will allow it to grow. Also as you go outwards their will be a tendency as technology develops, to build larger and larger island units.

When you look at the project not as an impossible dream but a group of interrelated small projects each of which will be managed by separate companies, industries etc, it starts to become simpler to achieve, but due to the weather systems in the Atlantic and the number of people who will live preeminently in the Kingdom, we cannot make light of the safety and thought that goes in and the need to as fully as possible consider every detail.

For this reason we shortly will have a separate site for technical maters and construction armaments. You will find this at at www.build.new-atlantis.org
