Near San Diego, California, there's a rotating house: and somehow, all the utilities, the electricity, gas and water, work even on the rotating part. How's t...
Wow, that’s actually some really clever engineering that went into making a hub for the utilities where the lines can all rotate together. I’d hate to be the one who has to fix it when something goes wrong though, it looks like a lot of that is probably bespoke, and replacing anything must be big $$$. Also it’s hard to imagine that the sewage system is problem-free. I wonder if they have a masticator in the line somewhere.
For sure. Though, the sensors will pick up when the first of two seals break, you could potentially use the system while a replacement seal is being worked on. If you’re feeling adventurous that is. ;)
It’s three seals and two sensors. You’re still technically good to go with both sensors going off for leaks. One leak is cause to buy a replacement seal and/or junction but it isn’t a reason to move out.

Yeah, he designed it himself, there’s probably no documentation on it but the original one, and fixing it mean have to get the part made for it.
I figure if you buy that house in that location, the cost of having it fixed isnt even on your radar.
Not the cost, but the wait time.
But yeah they will just live in their other house at the mean time

I think I saw he has some patents on it in the video. You could probably use existing hardware and those patents to reconstruct as needed.

Yeah I wonder how the sewage line doesn’t get clogged in certain orientations.
