Zuma Co., Ltd. Begins Sales of Development Design Specifications for 'Electric Levitation Seismic Isolation Foundation System,' Born from the Idea of 'Floating a House at the Moment of an Earthquake'
Zuma Co., Ltd. has started selling development design specifications for an 'Electric Levitation Seismic Isolation Foundation System' as part of its 'Development Design Specification Support Service,' which combines AI and engineering. This system is based on a new seismic isolation concept that prevents earthquake tremors from being transmitted to buildings.

Zuma Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto City; Representative Director: Keita Koga) has begun sales of development design specifications for the 'Electric Levitation Seismic Isolation Foundation System,' conceptualized with the idea of 'making building foundations levitate at the moment of an earthquake to suppress the transmission of tremors.' This is offered as part of its 'Development Design Specification Support Service,' which combines AI and engineering.
This specification document is not merely a collection of ideas. It is a roughly 50-page PowerPoint package of specifications aimed at commercialization, including completion imagery, required specifications, control flow, structural/material/electrical design, BOM (Bill of Materials), potential prototyping partners, legal regulation summary, intellectual property and patent acquisition strategy, and demand forecasts.
Zuma's service can rapidly materialize such development design specifications from the idea stage, delivering them in as short as 5 to 7 business days.
**A Concept of 'Not Transmitting Shakes' Rather Than 'Withstanding Earthquakes'**
In Japan, 'seismic resistance' is generally the standard for earthquake countermeasures. However, this 'Electric Levitation Seismic Isolation Foundation System' is a new concept designed with the idea of suppressing the transmission of earthquake tremors to the building at the foundation level, before they reach the structure.
The specification document proposes a mechanism where dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA) are laid out in a tile pattern, utilizing deformation caused by high voltage application to reduce relative motion between the foundation and the ground.
Furthermore, by adopting a completely solid-state method that does not use fluids, and reducing moving parts such as pipes, valves, and compressors, the system is configured with maintainability and mass production in mind.
The value of these specifications lies in making it clear 'what is needed for actual development' rather than just being 'an amazing idea.'
