Two guys in the UK, Will Crawford and Peter Brewin, have come up with a new type of emergency shelter. It’s basically an inflatable tent with a twist. The tent is made of a concrete soaked fabric.
It comes in a bag that you just add water to. After making sure the water has been soaked all the way through the bag, you hook it up to a pump and inflate it. Wait 12 hours, and you have a permanent concrete igloo. One strong enough to hold up against extreme weather and even bullets!
The two inventors are starting production in the next year. Their first customers will be aid agencies, but various military organizations, including the US military, have expressed interest.
