These awesome tents get solar power, can harvest water and fold up

Posted by Alec Cope | May 4, 2015 |

This weather proof fabric is attached to strong bendable, compressed plastic which can open to create vent holes and exits and seal to keep warm. It’s a very strong, sturdy structure that can fold up, collect rainwater and charge a battery with solar fabric.

It was developed by Abeer Seikaly, with the Weaving a Home project and was intended for refugees. It has poplar appeal as well.

The preformed tube members are woven into cloth and can be bent – you can also shower in it

I highly suggest visiting their website to peruse the technical schematics.
