likes it. Nifty swifty. As for "number two," camping toilets are available from Sears, etc that could easily be stored onto one of his shelves. Very clever.

Just looking at that thing gives me a raging fit of claustrophobia.

I assume the cat litter takes care of the other facility problem.

It's an interesting project, but I'd say I prefer to pull a much smaller trailer with my tent and sleeping bag on it, personally...

I find it funny that he thought Swine Flu could lead to a post-apocalyptic future.

Arr, just so ye know, I will be cutting off any bankers heads if they be showin' up at BM

never said he thought swine flue could lead to a post-apocalyptic future, they said "if", entirely theoretical.

Dude i know where this picture is! Its at an event called Burning Man where u get to go wild and b creative with art. And this guys perception of art is appearently really creative cuz i woulda never thought of miniaturizing mobile omes. But hay, thats what burners do...

This is an extremely clever design. What it shows perhaps more than anything else, though, is how little energy most of us actually need for many day-to-day tasks, which points up how much energy most of us actually waste just for simple things like cooking and lighting. That's probably the most environmentally-impacting message of a project like this.

I like it. Although I do not like the leg thing, since it's exposed to outside. It would be ideal to use the accordion flute style, so to expand and closes at will. Keeps out bugs, and keeps the animals from nipping at you. Good bones, can be improved upon. I like!

Interesting idea, one question though, why is it curved on one side? There are obviously no aerodynamic or structural benefits and it's actually a waste of potential space. Only possible reason I could see is if they guy owns a small aircraft and he hauls this thing around in it. Anyone else care to take a guess? *scratches head*

Probably for making it lighter

Though i find this to be a GARBAGE "micro" home

1. There is a funnel on the outside, if for water, it's WAY too low and small, whereas a larger funnel or mesh bag on top with a "Debris" filter of mesh on top to keep out the bugs in the water. Also its so low someone can pee into it while he sleeps

2. The fact he has his head exposed there means if someone hits his vehicle, he's a goner. To add it will throw in UV radiation while he naps and he'll get a bad sunburn or cook himself

3. The thing is cramped, and as said before is curved which sucks away space. It'd be very effective it was rectangular with a slanted roof (To keep snow from toppling it over

4. Light also means light materials. The only insulation he has is the mattress, and MAYBE 1 sheet, which means he wont stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

5. Theres no way to store propane on it. Following the three energy source rule, this only has one (Solar). If it gets LP, it at least has two.

How would this work for dating ?

"We don't have to go back to my place, I've already brought it."

Too, bad it's not a bicyclehome built for two.
Sorry, Daisy.

To Laos, the funnel IS for peeing, an intentional design.

Doc_97 : maybe to prevent water from gathering at the "roof" ?

Ok you guys. Here's a link to my blog that this semi accurate article came from. If you're bored it will explain all the crazy details. Theres also more crazy stuff I've made that you can muse over...and thanks for your comments. You're right too. I would die if someone hit me with a truck, but I didn't get a sunburn on my face because I sleep at night. Also the curved roof was to shield from 50+ mph winds that happen everytime at burningman. I even still had to tie it down!

THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE BEFORE! BUT A LONG TIME AGO! HE IS AN INVENTOR OF NOTHING BUT AN UPDATED VERSION!

Type louder Brian. We can't hear you.

Wow, that looks pretty cozy dude!

Great for my dogs when going for a ride on a hot day in Florida, or for homeless people.

See a cute little 400 pound trailer towable by almost any car and can be customized for motorcycles!!!

Just me, or this dude has some similarities to MacGyver?

i think it's awesome! +1 for ingenuity man, that's a trip that you still had to tie it down, looks like it'd be heavy enough with it's own weight for 50~60 mph winds

This also good for homeless people too. Great idea!

In California, he will be most definitely arrested for wizzing in public!

so does that thing get wi-fi

to BRYAN: almost everything has been done before, and most new things are just improvements, he wasn't claiming to be entirely original anyways.

Good job to Paul to doing what he wants and building it, naysayers can continue to live in their 3 energy source whatever.

That's ingenious, and great for a Lone Wolf but what about someone who actually has a partner ?
The only way the Swine Flu could lead to an "apocalypse" (please!) is if enough people were gullible enough to take the contaminated mad-science lab engineered Sine flu SHOT ! The experimental vaccine is what will sicken people, see 1976's results for reference.

Amazing how my little camper has taken off on the web lately. It's been written about In Chile, London and South Africa and so on. Hey, It's just a burningman toy! Yes It did hatch from a theme: How small can I make a compartment that houses everything one needs, off grid, just in case the sh#t hits the fan, and, be able to withstand the nasty weather on the Playa. This was not intended for touring. Too heavy, wide and not aerodynamic enough. But, I've lived in it for 2 weeks and it works. It is a possible starting point for housing a functional single homeless city dweller. The pee funnel would be inside, make it narrower and able to push around.
Thanks for all of your kind comments. I create these contraptions to make people think out of the box, and that's what I think we'll need in order to survive in the future.

So...is there room for the girlfriend? That thing looks lonely.

Good for you for all of your creative effort! You are thinking and doing something which is more than I can say for (me and) a lot of other folks!!
