Survival Capsule

According to 'The US Sun', aerospace engineer Julian Sharpe is the founder of Survival Capsule. He got the idea of making this survival kit following the 2004 Indonesian Tsunami, in which about 225,000 people died. After 20 years of meticulous planning, research and development, Julian Sharpe has successfully built and will soon launch the survival pods in the market.

Julian Sharpe designed the Survival Capsule

Talking to 'The US Sun', he said that the typical reaction is to run away from a tsunami, but now people ride it out. He claimed that one can survive in the pod for weeks. He also said that the basic idea of the pod is to survive.


The Survival Capsule is a large, reinforced ball designed to protect people from the extreme forces of waves and the debris that comes with them. It will have a tubular aluminum frame on the inside and space for the essentials for survival.

Ceramic insulation

The Survival Capsule is lined with the same silver, ceramic insulation that was used to protect the Space Shuttle when it reentered Earth's atmosphere. It's just wide enough for two people to sit side by side and the remaining space is to storage for supplies and air tanks.

The pod is reinforced outside to withstand everything a natural disaster can bring. It includes "sharp object penetration, heat exposure, blunt object impact and rapid deceleration".
