Toshi Ghalebi, an engineer and an inventor based in Indio, California, developed a modular building technology that can withstand natural disasters like wildfires, earthquakes, floods, mold, and termites. This state-of-the-art technology can help to drastically reduce claims to the ravaged insurance industry dealing with massive payouts due to wildfires, floods and the impact of global warming.
The technology combines (MgO) Magnesium Oxide panels, with (EPS) Expanded Polystyrene to form a Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) offering 42+ R factor insulation and significantly higher strength able to withstand abuse and resist human vandalism as well as water damage.
In torch testing, panels can withstand 1,472 (°F) of constant temperature for more than four hours, without degraded damage, and can be easily restored to an ambient level of structural quality.
Use of Magnesium Oxide (MgO) may be the best alternative to replace the use of drywall in building homes and many, if not all, structural interiors. Unlike drywall, MgO produces no smoke in a fire, which is a major cause of fire-related injuries and fatalities.
In the mid-20th century, drywall construction became prevalent in North America. Many builders turn to its use to save on labor and material cost of traditional bricks, lathe and plaster in building residential homes. Throughout the years many states, with their building codes, identify these drywalls as combustible because of the use of paper facing materials.
Many drywall brands apply various additives, plasticizer foaming agents, asbestos meant to reduce mildew, flammability, and water absorption but become toxic over time, and especially in a fire.
Comparative studies indicated drywall or gypsum can be damaged with a fluctuating temperature between 180 (°F) and 200 (°F) for well over an hour. Forest wildfire can easily reach 1,472 (°F) and may go on for days or weeks. The Panels are designed to tolerate these very harsh conditions, meant to give homeowners a fighting chance to come back to their properties with minimal damage to the house structure.
“Even if there is a wildfire, you can still have a home you can come back to. Maybe a couple of panels will be charred, you can do an easy repair of hosing it down and painting it, and you got your home back,” explains Engineer Toshi Ghalebi.
The use of magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO) is even cheaper and safer than conventional materials used for construction in real estate development.
Magnesium oxide nanoparticles are odorless and non-toxic. MgO appears in a white powder form. The properties possess a high melting point, high hardness, and high purity.
Electronic configuration: Magnesium, 3s2; Oxy
Group: Magnesium 2; Oxygen 16
Chemical symbol: MgO
In flood or water leak situations, the magnesium oxide keeps mold from growing once the water subsides.
Use of Mgo Panels would mean less use of wood for building materials. Fast Dwellings has designed their building process to support and not damage the environment while meeting housing demands.
The panels are faster and less expensive than traditional construction. The company wants its products to be the best alternative in replacing the use of wood in building houses.
Ghalebi added.., “Our structures have the highest safety ratings possible, with 130 mile per hour wind rates, which make the structures suitable for areas prone to natural disasters or environmental challenges. Our patented modular units are fire, earthquake, and flood-proof and offer affordability and flexibility. In addition, our new feature includes utility and water systems that are manufactured using a plex material that stretches, and collapses and will rise to allow for uninterrupted flow of utilities.”
Senator Jeff Stone (R) 28th Senate District
said in one of his TV interviews:
““With modular systems, can you imagine if we streamlined the permitting process, basically have a house built.., maybe in a month and a half, by the time you include plumbing, kitchen, bath, and things like that.””
Qubit building technology relies on quantum computing. A qubit is the basic unit of quantum information. It is the simplest two-state or two-level system, displaying peculiarity mechanization. It can be taken as vertical and horizontal polarization. In a classical system, a bit would have to be in one state or the other.
Qubit building principle can best be described as similar to the popular children’s toy, LEGO.
Fast Dwellings is not only building residential homes, it is also manufacturing Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s), Expandable Tiny Houses or Movables, Cultivation Grow Houses and Commercial Warehouses.
The building process by Fast Dwellings is done by a small crew of trained specialists. The panels are held with steel specialized brackets, allowing the panels to be bolted together quickly and efficiently without the traditional noise and waste associated with stick-built construction.
The steel frame allows designers to easily accommodate dramatic glass openings, making it a favorite for homes with views.
Fast Dwelling’s design offers one of the most resilient housing structures on the market offering a rapid and scalable construction technology at a more affordable cost, attracting buyers and minimizing liabilities.
