Dahir Insaat is a company founded in Istanbul by Russian engineer and inventor Dahir Semenov. It is known for its futuristic design concepts, which involve concepts such as large quadcopters, automation, or prefabrication. The designs are generally dismissed as wildly impractical, but the animated videos featuring them have frequently gone viral on the internet.[1][2][3][4] Semenov has been compared to prolific inventor Buckminster Fuller.[5]
One of Dahir Insaat's designs is a bed that becomes a "fortress" in an earthquake. Critics describe it as a claustrophobic coffin.[6]
Another design is for an aerial train. Designed say it could travel at 400 mph with electricity supplied by a tether linked to an electrified rail that runs on the ground from station to station.[5]
The firm's other designs include a drive-thru supermarket would literally be driven through[7] and a gyroscopic transport vehicle that would move above traffic.[8] A video proposal for a pothole filling machine was also produced by the Turkish engineering company, while U.S. company Patch Management in Fairless Hills near Philadelphia has already been producing and selling this type of machine called the Pothole Killer.[9]
