We have the Lilypad.

It can hold up to 50,000 inhabitants and is powered entirely by wind, solar and water power. Some people live above the surface, some people live beneath the surface.

Have some pictures:

that's really cool ^^.

Lets make like 8million of them ;D

I have seen concepts like this before, and it's very cool.

If it could be self sufficient, they would be on to something.

The cost of one would be HUGE though.

Also, Wynney, there aren't 400billion people on this planet

FYI: They will all be connected via fibre-optic cable and Google will have their own lily farm.

THERE WILL BE WHEN THE ICE CAPS MELT AND PEOPLE ARE THAWED OUT.

Errr.... Room for food for 50k people? I don't think so

They're pretty damn big. Look at the pic containing a city to see what I mean.

They seem to have wind power around the edge, and I would imagine a form of tidal and solar power. That could probably be enough for power generation.

As for food, they may not have provision for large scale farming, but they could probably do the more artificial form of plant growing. Meat may be a problem, but there are always fish.

@Aaron - I'd like to see fibre cables routed between massive floating cities that just go by the ocean currents.

We need one specially for TCHS members only.

50k people at LAN, CY@~

Well, naturally I'll get my own personal one at some point.

How much rent to live there as well?

It's a concept. There are just as many prices as there are actual blueprints.

I meant how much rent to live on yours when you get your own.

You think I would share it!? MADNESS. It will be my floating research fort!

Share = free
I'm offering money + labour for experiments = not sharing

Not completely. Share as in share a space. Next year I'm sharing a house, but we're all paying for it equally, it's still sharing.

lol at english.

Meh, I'm pretty sure Skillers would let some people live on his

Are you now? And who do you think they would be?

me and +>9000

Obviously all your w.... You know xD

They don't count as people.
