Had an idea for a seastead that has three “wings” that would point toward the waves while holding up a triangle shaped platform.
Just a thought.
Here’s a crappy quick diagram I put together with google sketch with the basic concept.
Hmmm… It seems good, it would seem to a floating jack-up, and modularity would be guaranteed by this triangular form.
But I have some reservations how about these elyptical “winged” columns. If a rough wave hit the columns in the wider side, it wouldn’t tilt the seastead and sink it? I preferred to use cylindrical columns, that receive waves from any side with the same endurance.
