Prototype & testing

A physical prototype exists. The test has been documented.

The project has moved beyond drawings: a full-scale prototype has been built, a preliminary concentrated-load test has been carried out, and the process is documented on video. This page shows what has already been done and the next technical steps.

Preliminary load demonstration

During the test, an approximately 5,000 kg concrete block was applied as a concentrated load to the test structure. The protected internal volume remained available after the impact. The result is documented on video and serves as a practical basis for the next engineering stage.
