I cannot agree more on this. Sales would go crazy if they make it a tad expensive but with more stuff that define it as a house and not a camping unit. Filtering the used water - a bigger power cells, so a sentence such as "a its windy, we will be able to cook tonight" doesn't have to be part of the promo. I know there are campers that have it all but since its small, if they make it attachable to a car as a trailer, it might pull way more attention than a camper. Since it doesn't cost 200k with those features. Oh god the possibilities are so limitless .

Not to mention the rain collection function does not make ANY sense, considering the shape of the whole thing, it doesn't have NEARLY enough surface area... To make this viable, they need a little bit more space to make room for something to wash clothes and support the system behind that, store larger amounts of food with a decent fridge, and make the surface area of the rain collection larger... This means ditching the egg-shaped look... Because as it stands right now, it's riddled with design flaws, which is hilariously on-point for the slovak stereotype of being too lazy to do competent work. :P It's hilarious that they're charging 80 000 euro's for an incomplete product riddled with design flaws, roflmfao...

Kirsten this is interesting as usual for the channel but I was expecting some more questioning from you when it comes to the "eco" labeled design: - how the filtering works? - what is the expected generated energy and to what amount of autonomy it corresponds? - how are the materials used ecological? Furthermore, I have doubts about the advantages of the shape it self: - flat surfaces are probably more industrially scalable and substitutable if damaged, unless there is a big advantage in saving material and assembling with a curved shape; - having solar panels facing opposite sides is a huge waste of potential energy harvest, maybe cut to half; - storing space is reduced. I don't agree with the stated cozy feel of the shape: we are not born inside an egg, we are far more used to a box shape or triangular ceiling, so this is highly subjective. However, I see some advantages: - it is less disturbed by air flow, which it is better if you plan to use it as a trailer and also might feel more comfortable if it is windy outside; - less joints make it more stable when transporting and less prone to cracks, also if it falls over to one side. Even with that shape, I know how to save more space in the kitchen and bathroom than the present design. This might be useful for some property owners that want to complement their business with some tourists staying for a while, because the shape makes it a different experience. Other than that, an RV/caravan/trailer would be more cost efficient.

Well, on limited production runs, specialized vacuum forming of the fibreglass panels used everywhere in the pod, is uber-expensive. And unless and until something like this becomes popular, it has no mass market appeal that would permit production runs to be done on a large economy-of-scale basis. Neat idea in principle, but its cost makes it unworkable in practice.

My husband lost his job, we got behind, and couldn't refinance. The day of the auction I had the money to buy it back and the bank refused to sell it to me. The bastards bought it back from themselves. Fast forward 8 months and we are living in a trailer because a tiny house for 4 ppl was going to cost too much that we would be in debt again.

Some interesting design elementsincluded. I like the bathroom design a lot, and the wind turbine is a unique idea. I don’t think the shape is very efficient from a space use aspect - a flat roof slanted to one side could also collect rainwater, house solar panels and allow for a more usefu and easy to engineer box-type space underneath Also of concern is the heaviness and operation of the door - would be annoying to go in and out of often, and the bugs would easily get in if left open, as there doesn’t seem to be any screen. Where does food get stored? There does not seem to be any refrigeration until.

I hope some day smart awesome design becomes affordable and practical to the average working class. This product is purely for the tourism market A. K. A short term vacay airbnb rental. But even then, for 100k, I can renovate and rent 10 caravans which would provide a much healthier ROI. Nevertheless, Kudos to the Slovaks for getting ideas of their drawing board!

I think with most people, storage space would run out very quickly with this. The kitchen alone is not as good as the kitchen in a small van build. I think if you were a single person picking crops, using it as a hotel room, or that sort of thing it would be okay. Temporary only for most people. Hopefully. As far as I know, the US is already using shipping containers in places like the arctic circle. They look more spacious than this. It was nice to hear Russian accents, I enjoyed it for some reason.

Maybe if it were another meter or two in length, it could have a refrigerator and still fit in a shipping container. I love the idea but the missing cold food storage is a deal breaker for me. Or, for half the money, buy the shipping container and convert that into a small home with solar, wind, and rain cachement.
