An Island made from plastic bottles by Richart Sowa

A floating artificial island built in Mexico by British artist Richart "Rishi" Sowa. He's first Island was destroyed by a hurricane in 2005; a replacement, Joyxee Island, has been open for tours since 2008.
In the waters of Isla Mujeres, the "Island of Women", near Cancun. It opened for tours in August, 2008.
The new island was initially 20 metres (66 ft) in diameter, which has since expanded to 25 metres (82 ft), and plants and mangroves are already growing on it. It contains about 100,000 bottles. The new island has three beaches, a house, two ponds, a solar-powered waterfall and river, a wave-powered washing machine and solar panels. Volunteers helped with the project. Sowa will continue to make improvements to the Island, so it will always be a work of art in progress.

Spiral Island has been featured in a number of newspapers and TV documentaries around the world, including in Japan and South Korea, and has been featured in an episode of the Ripley's Believe It or Not! TV series, and on the MTV program Extreme Cribs in 2011.

He makes a little bit of money for his tour. Its not much. Its interesting. Its educational. And if people are willing to pay in exchange for an experience, how is that any different than paying a few bucks to go to a museum or a park? (Even free parks often have parking fees) Rather than funding,, he asks people for trash at the end 😂 in his beautiful little song lol

[@greenpill810]

Sam kogan I like being useful - like a cog in a machine. You be a free rock rolling downhill if you wish, I'd rather be a part of the engine driving up.

[@samekogan]

+Xaiano I just don't think you understand nor see the brilliant resourcefulness this man posses. you think you're headed up the hill? this guy has shit figured out once the engine breaks down and causes your vehicle to roll down backwards. this is using his surroundings to its fullest and finest. if you can't see that now then maybe you never will and that's fine. but it's amazing that you cant.

[@xaiano794]

Sam kogan Don't you see the folly in your own statement? You say 'once it breaks down' - and go on to state that it is THEN that his work would surpass my 'machine', but that statement infers that PRIOR to it breaking down, my 'machine' is most definitely superior and furthermore that there is only a chance of it failing at some unspecified point in the future. Therefore, given a choice between guaranteed inferiority now, or possible inferiority after an uncertain amount of time, it is obvious that your 'free person' is always the lesser choice.

Perhaps semi melt the plastic into float able cubes in a form design to interlock. He would have enough material to build his own floating continent.

he sounds like a hippie but all his understandings about climate, temperature, sunlight, soil-making, waves, are all spot on. maybe not the flying island part, that part was too crazy :p

[@tonystroemsnaes554]

ikr, love this guy, but the physichs behind the island tornado didn't really make any sense

[@MrImachickenlol]

you guys cant tell its a joke?

[@laggedoff]

I'm not sure he meant a literal giant tornado. But the flight was more or less a joke, unless he was speaking of little gliding with a light enough island, and enough lift, it'd be more like a hop than a flight. but making your own tornado is entirely possible if you set it up correctly, as hot air rises rapidly, cold air will rush in, the trick to making your own mini-tornado is finding a method to control how the cold air flows down again. the hot air would have to be REALLY hot however.

[@lennartweber2228]

dewinmoonl i bet he recognized one day that there is no place for creators and nature caring guys like him on the land, so he thought about his own little place. and hell guys, this private island is a dream

[@AqierDesigns]

he IS a hippy and why do you assume a generall hippie is irrational? hippies are very rational. a hippy is just someone who believes in love, acceptance, tolerance, peace. Most hippies get that believe from lsd and well I can guarantee you that this man had lsd at least once aswell. If you once had lsd you just see who had the universal understanding, and he has it.

[@kingbrandon60]

I love the way he thinks, its innovative. People saying he's crazy fail to realize there's a lot to learn from him. For one, he obviously doesnt care what you think. He built his own island with nature in his best interest, how many of you have done that? Second, he's going to focus on the positivity like he said, so any negative comments aren't a true reflection of him, but a reflection of you. Free your mind, stop being a slave to what others think, and life will be so much different.

Second, the energy conglomerates wouldn't tolerate his not hooking up to their "service". Then the Department of Homeland "Security" (ha ha) would label him as a "Domestic Terrorist" for living off grid and haul him off to a FEMA Concentration Camp........ Oh, the dream of freedom........ None here in he U.S.A. any more.

Jojo Bag Serious changes may be coming to the USA, and sooner than many may think. Many people have had enough of the corruption and cronyism of all levels of the current government. Changes will be made, including American troops being brought home instead of being sent out, after being lied to, to do the dirty work for the international bankers.

The video has nothing to do with Putler and the invasion of Ukraine, nor the devaluation of the Ruble, nor the collapse of the Russian economy, nor the unsolved murders of the free press reporters in Russia.

Is nobody going to mention his theory on creating a tornado to fly his island? Legendary

[@cerebral3591]

Wave power passive AC is brilliant. Also, he's not wrong about the artificial tornado. The idea has been around for a few years and was called Atmospheric Vortex Engine (AVE). They would use the convection to drive a wind turbine generator.

[@cerebral3591]

@Aron Speedy Yeah... doubtful on the flying part. A thunderstorm able to make even a weak tornado able to lift a house requires more energy than a nuclear bomb. Moving a wind turbine would be on the order of a small dust devil, which is feasible. To make a large tornado artificially would be near impossible, much less controlling it.

[@robertdevito5001]

I actually though he was planning on a wind turbine right up until he said fly the island... At which point I lost it

[@ambersykora352]

Also, hurricanes create gold as an after effect. Just a tid bit. A brilliant man once went on shark tank, and proved it's possible.
