ABSTRACT:
An artificial floating island is disclosed. The island includes a floating structure formed from a plurality of hollow island modules. Each module may have a platform and side walls for trapping air and providing buoyancy for the floating structure. The modules also include a plurality of shorter strengthening ribs to provide additional strength and safety. Adjacent island modules may be connected by hinge mechanisms to form the floating artificial island. An air supply mechanism may be connected to the sides of adjacent island modules to replenish air inside the hollow modules.
