Since 2006, Air Danshin has started to develop this type of air bag, but it was not until last year, after the earthquake disaster - the tsunami in the northeastern coast of Japan, the new Japanese people really care about this product.

According to the mechanism of action, when an earthquake occurs, the sensor inside the cuff will detect movement and activate the air compressor to help pump air to push the cuff within 1 second. The amount of air from the compressor is enough to raise the structure of the house to a height of 3cm from the ground and maintain the state of 'suspended' for the house until there is no earthquake.

In the process of 'hovering ', your home will remain firm and stand upright as usual thanks to a cleverly installed valve inside the house that helps control the amount of compressed air. Going through the earthquake, the system will automatically flush the air out of the air bag and bring your home back to its original state.

Currently, the price of an airbag to avoid earthquakes fluctuates in the range of 3 million yen (about 23,375 pounds) depending on the size of each house, but is still considered to be quite cheap compared to equipment. other types. The warranty period lasts 10 years and requires maintenance during use.

With superior features and outstanding efficiency, Air Danshin Company hopes to bring this new technology into application in key projects of the country in the coming time, including the system. schools and hospitals across Japan.
