Capsule
Capsule2
The Survival Capsule is a patented, Shelter in Place device, designed as a spherical ball to protect against tsunami events, tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons, earthquakes, storm surge etc.

Using a Shelter in Place device, as opposed to a municipal safety system such as a Vertical Evacuation Tower, allows individual groups and families to be more in control of their survival in an emergency situation. The capsule is also a variable disaster solution, which means it can vary position according to the water depth, so it will never be inundated by water levels rising too high. It also provides warmth, safety, and shelter during the initial post-disaster period before rescue crews and relief workers have arrived on the scene.

Built with strength and survivability in mind, by a team of experienced aerospace engineers, the survival capsule will operate safely and efficiently in the harsh circumstances and environments to which a natural disaster would expose it. The sphere will withstand the initial impact of a natural disaster, as well as sharp object penetration, heat exposure, blunt object impact, and rapid deceleration.

We have designed the capsule to be stored inside or outside the home or business establishment. The capsules come in various sizes ranging from two-person capacity all the way up to a sixteen-person capacity. The smaller capsules are suitable for private dwellings and family homes. The larger capsules are designed for municipal buildings, businesses, hospitals, airports, schools and general public safe havens.
