Just wondering what would be some ideal designs for Noah's Ark if had been real?
Some requirements:
(1) Needs stay as level as possible so the animals aren't injured as the Ark reacts to the waves. Some of the animals could be strapped into place for short periods of extreme waves.
(2) Needs to stay upright and above the surface for access to fresh air.
I wonder if an upside-down dome with lots of ballast might be a good design?
Another thought is a downward-pointing cone? Many ships have a v-shaped hull cross-section and converting that to a circular shape gives a cone.
