Domestic students have created an
innovative yurt that blends Kazakh traditions with modern technology. It is
specifically adapted to withstand extreme conditions and ensure safety. The
yurt can be easily assembled and disassembled, making it highly versatile. Most
importantly, it is resistant to unexpected natural phenomena. Despite its
lightweight frame, the yurt is highly durable, and its exterior is covered with
thick felt. The creators emphasize that this yurt is suitable for use in
emergency zones.
«In its unfolded form, it has a diameter of
four meters, while in its folded state, it is only two meters. When opened, it
can house three to four people, but in extreme conditions, the electricity will
be enough for up to eight people,» explained student Nazar Kozhakhmetov.
The innovative modular dwelling will have a
total area of 14 square meters. However, the most important feature is that the
yurt is completely autonomous. It not only generates its own electricity but
also provides heat and water using renewable energy sources. A floor heating
system ensures warmth, while solar panels charge batteries storing energy.
«We obtain energy through solar panels and
store it in a battery. The wind turbine is our alternative source: if there is
no sun but strong wind, the system continues to operate,» said another student
Bakdaulet Orynbassarov.
The project authors – students of Uzbekali
Zhanibekov South Kazakhstan Pedagogical University – plan to improve the mobile
yurt and test it in real conditions after making all the improvements.
