A new emerging technology is "Noah" . This incandescent yellow capsule is made my a small Japenese company. It floats and it is used in the case of an earthquake or tsunami. It could save the lives of up to 4 adults. It is also water and fire resistant. "Noah" is made from enhanced fiber glass, and the sphere include a porthole window, air vents, and a bright yellow covering so it is easily noticed. The reason why it is a sphere is because it has to withstand hits, shocks, and landslides.
