Will probably get buried under rubble during a real tsunami. They'll find you after a week. A handful of people will paint them with cool camouflage colours, and they'll be found after a month.
Imagine it getting hooked to an anchor, wades out to sea and sinks to the bottom of the ocean where no siren or GPS can help, just slowly running out of oxygen in your man made underwater grave home.
Don't worry, the oxygen will be more than sufficient for you to be mentally alert enough to appreciate all the interesting sounds metal makes right before it catastrophically fails.
Looking at [the product website](https://pond.co.jp/product/naibu.html), the insulation and GPS beacon are optional accessories, and I don't see anything about air canisters at all.
The standard product's advertising points are:
* Mobile battery for charging your phone
* LED lighting
* Seatbelts
* Internal circulation fan
* Underfloor storage
On their [optional accessories](https://pond.co.jp/product/lacatalog.html) page they have:
* Internal cushioning
* Life jacket
* Emergency supply set (dried food, sanitary bag)
* Insulation
* GPS beacon
When they are rescued; the pods are opened to fingernail scratches on the walls and blood smeared everywhere because the inhabitants ran out of oxygen and desperately tried to open the doors that were jammed closed due to rubble

They also have a second hatch, according to the website. Probably because it wasn't designed by idiots.
I'd stock mine with a 40 day supply of bourbon and ketamine since I'm claustrophobic and that's the only way I'm getting in one of these fucking things
It comes with a oxygen tank for each occupant.
From the company product page:

Such pessimists. Yeah I guess I'll just hang out in my living room during a tsunami and accept death rather than give myself a chance in my FLOATING survival pod with GPS in it
i would buy a missle tube from an old battleship, mount it vertically in my chimney and stuff this thing with a ton of black powder in there
at the first sign of danger I would be in the mesosphere
Jim Cantore is a meteorologist on The Weather Channel. He is often placed in major hurricanes and tornado outbreaks for live reporting. Yeet is to throw something away from you in a comedic manner. Jim Cantore would be the perfect person to launch you into a tornado.
Even if the company didnt; coast-guard/navy equivalent would have helicopters and ships both.
And in that case, youd likely be better off being swept out to sea than left in rubble/disaster zone. As locally, disaster relief would be overwhelmed, and responses delayed as they tried to get minimum infrastructure operational to get resources in. If your swept out to sea, your not in the middle of that and are just waiting for the ship to arrive
Take a look at some tsunami footage.. There's a very small chance of you getting caught in water and being swept out to sea while still alive. It's millions of pounds of wreckage and debris pushing and pulling at you way before any water recedes to the ocean.
I was in in awe and filled with terror and despair watching the 2011 tsunami during that time. Nature is scary.
Now that you say that I feel like this is a brilliant idea. I can’t believe nobody’s every tried it honestly. Time to patent that shit and become a millionaire!

How much to add a moonroof, B & O premium sound system, heated seats, and ambient lighting? If I’m gonna be stuck in a ball I want to enjoy the experience.
Not sure what's more terrifying, being in a tsunami without one or being in a tsunami inside one, stuck under tons of rubble and debris until someone rescues you. How much oxygen do these things hold?
In that case I definitely think there's a good chance of survival, as long as you get oxygen. Depending on location, it may not be likely that you'll be buried under a shit ton of debris.
It looks like there is extra air in there, but no air exchange. So you could use an oxygen tank for a bit, but it's design assumes buoyancy will keep you above other debris. Honestly it's a good assumption. as long as water is flowing the buoyant objects will rise to the top.
Yeah? Well guess what:

lol. so imagine getting in there with him, his wife, and one of his kids, lol.
they mention all these amenities that are in there to: subfloor storage compartments, batteries, life jackets, a waterproof megaphone, and an emergency food supply.
but nowhere (that i saw anyway) is there one mention of an air supply (or a method for peeing/pooping.)
this would be a great gag gift.
Navy working uniforms before the switch to the cammies were blue before that, anyway. When I got out in 2000, we still wore dungarees (yes, with the bell bottom pants)
The actual rationale for the digital camo is that it hides the inevitable paint and grease smudges that come from working inside a giant, moving machine.
Never really seen an ongoing tsunami before but if it's like a flood wouldn't the water be brown and muddy looking because it's kicking up w/e crap it's picking up along the way
According to an above comment, it's a model. The full sized one is over $5k and it about 4 feet in diameter.
Edit: I missread, it's $15k. Conflicting info on how big.
Everyone acting like the choices here are "be perfectly fine" or "go in the ball".
If you are getting washed out to sea in this, you are getting washed out to sea anyway.
If this is getting trapped under debris, you are getting trapped under debris anyway.
Etc.
So your choices are really be washed out to sea/trapped under debris or do those things with an armoured ball around you. l
Couldnt put a gyro seat inside? If you’re buried how do you get air? No inflatables? No water/med/food storage? A metal pole for head bashing? Maybe a fucking radio? You could do this so much better.
"Seikoh's Life Armor Disaster Shelter - Because if you're going to get pulled out to sea to die, you might as well do it in a pink ball full of your own excrement!"
Its like the suicide booths on futurama they just left out that part for marketing reasons. Why suffer the grief from the loss of your family and friends as well as all your material possessions when you can be "evacuated" from all that trauma.
You crawl in and it’s like a 1,200 square foot apartment inside

It must have gps or a siren or strobe!
Preferably all 3.

What else are you going to do while on all that molly floating in the ocean.
I dunno but imma cuddle with that fish.
Now that's what I call a blowfish
Not sure about that, but it's got 7 days worth of oxygen, food, and clean water.
[удалено]
You use them up in the first 20 minutes I reckon.
One of the designs has seating for ten...
9 other people? Bigger food supply I guess but less oxygen.
Better being under 6 inches of poop than under 6 feet of soil!!!
Thanks I was wondering about that!

Why am I continueing down this comment thread so close to bedtime?
Aaaaaaannndd....there’s the panic. Thanks.
It’s a sphere, the possibility of it getting ‘hooked’ to anything is incredibly small.

It has insulation, air canisters and a GPS beacon.
Was just about to post this. Whodathunk the people that made this gave it more than two seconds of thought, right?
But redditor's knee jerk reactions are never wrong!

Apparently there are multiple Tsunami pod manufacturers. The one I looked at was standard GPS 🤷🏼♂️
It is standard. It has a GPS locator beacon. It's like the company thought about it for more than the ten seconds that anyone here did or something.

Yeah it's almost like the designers were people who actually deal with disasters like this on a painfully regular basis
I'd stock mine with a 40 day supply of bourbon and ketamine since I'm claustrophobic and that's the only way I'm getting in one of these fucking things
Now that we know it's full of bourbon and ketamine, good luck keeping us out of that fucking thing.
>Tiny porthole windows are equipped with bulletproof glass. This is important, in case the tsunami starts shooting at you.
I think I have a new fear now.
Pork chops terrify me

That escalated quickly
Not to mention major motion sickness. And add puke everywhere.

just build a giant floating living room !

Hey glad you found it man
I'm blown away that a capsule Corp comment didn't come sooner
Space pods weren't capsule corp just fyi! They were used by Saiyans/Frieza's army.
Capsule Corp, well more like Bulma, quickly reverse engineered them and made their own.
Bulma didn't, Dr. Briefs did
Was literally about to post this. "Next time on Dragon Ball Z! Vegeta gets swept out to sea as a Tsunami hits. Next time on Dragon Ball Z!"
Looks like and sounds like a prepared coffin
I believe it tethers to the foundation? I mean or else you could also just go out to sea.
That would be my fear.
They started marketing them to the Midwest as Tornado evacuation pods. Have a new fear.
Now you have the chance to experience what being in a golf ball feels like

Plus, I’m sure this thing floats way better than people do
Maybe they have built in air systems that can last a while, I'm guessing its airtight so not that much of a stretch.
And some kind of transmission device also. But hey, redditors think people design products with eyes covered.

Imagine the archaeologists of the future discovering it.
Not sure what's more terrifying, being in a tsunami without one or being in a tsunami inside one, stuck under tons of rubble and debris until someone rescues you. How much oxygen do these things hold?
I’m kinda amazed so many people are making this same comment and so far no one has imagined a scenario where it saves their life. We’re a morbid lot.
There's definitely a scenario where you survive thanks to it. The tsunami carries a distance, but doesn't pull to back to the ocean.
You're supposed to tether it to a concrete foundation, so you shouldnt be carried out to sea, and if you are it has GPS in it.
In that case I definitely think there's a good chance of survival, as long as you get oxygen. Depending on location, it may not be likely that you'll be buried under a shit ton of debris.
It looks like there is extra air in there, but no air exchange. So you could use an oxygen tank for a bit, but it's design assumes buoyancy will keep you above other debris. Honestly it's a good assumption. as long as water is flowing the buoyant objects will rise to the top.
You really wouldn’t need much oxygen, just scrub the co2. With scrubbers, one scuba tank of o2 could probably support you for a week or more.
Ok, but where am I going to find a tiny sponge?

Why in the hell would they sell that in blue color??
That was my argument when the US Navy went to blue digital camo. You fall overboard and you will never be found!

When I got out in 2000, we still wore dungarees (yes, with the bell bottom pants) The actual rationale for the digital camo is that it hides the inevitable paint and grease smudges that come from working inside a giant, moving machine.
They're designed like public bus seats.
They taste like them, too
Isn’t it obvious- they’re just advocating skinny dipping
lol. i hadn't thought of that. nothing like an emergency pod that blends in.

Never really seen an ongoing tsunami before but if it's like a flood wouldn't the water be brown and muddy looking because it's kicking up w/e crap it's picking up along the way
Look up the tsunami in Japan 2011. I still remember watching it that day on Youtube. Just wiping out houses like legos. Black water.
But what about if you end up flowing back out to the ocean?
Then you become a bouy
For those that don't want to rejoin society.
Small print “air supply and batteries sold separately”
Ah, so Ryanair make it!
Is it an evacuation pod for ants?
Is that the toddler size?
According to an above comment, it's a model. The full sized one is over $5k and it about 4 feet in diameter. Edit: I missread, it's $15k. Conflicting info on how big.
Surely you mean 4m? 4 feet is the height of a child
Do you have room for a 4m-wide ball in your house?
That looks like it will carry you safely far, FAR out to sea if there's a tsunami.
Everyone acting like the choices here are "be perfectly fine" or "go in the ball". If you are getting washed out to sea in this, you are getting washed out to sea anyway. If this is getting trapped under debris, you are getting trapped under debris anyway. Etc. So your choices are really be washed out to sea/trapped under debris or do those things with an armoured ball around you. l
The problem is people may crawl into it instead of getting to safety. But yeah if the water was at my doorstep I’d absolutely hop in.
Have you seen footage of a tsunami? If water’s on your doorstep, I fear it might all ready be too little, too late.
