The walking house


Imagine a home that can walk slowly around town on six legs! This amazing 10ft-high house was the idea of a group of designers from Denmark who worked with engineers at MIT in Massachusetts, USA. The house has a living room, a kitchen, a toilet, and a bed. A computer controls the legs, but ther must always be three legs on the ground to keep it stable. The house does not travel very fast-about 160 meters an hour, but it can walk on any kind of land and can escape floods. It is very eco-friendly because it runs on solar and wind energy. It also collects rain water for use in the kitchen while a small wood burning stove provides heat inside. Do you need a change of scenery? Do you need to live closer to your job? Do you want to avoid your noisy neighbors? Simple-just take the house for a walk! How cool is that?
