The device itself, named ‘Palafittes Energia’, is a device which acts as an attachment to the palafittes (homes on stilts). Connecting around their wooden pillars, it could provide the necessary buoyancy to lift a home to safety in the event of a flood, additionally generating power from wave movement due to high naval activity on the river, transforming the traditional column into a power-generating pillar.
