has presented a patent for a submarine storage center, where the packets can be called by acoustic tones and therefore be ready to be delivered. The idea, which was reported earlier this year, was taken over by the company.
The idea may seem like a little boy idea, but we promise, indeed, that Amazon has patented the following: the containers with packages would be thrown into the air with a parachute. Depending on their density, the packages float at different levels; For this purpose, the acoustic pulses will be used to move the objects or to bring them to the surface, modifying the density of the package.
This could be done by changing the air charge inside the package. In addition, the control valves can add or remove the fluid to change the volume.
The parachutes could also be used for final distribution. It is not quite clear how they would deliver, although we know that Amazon has also patented delivery drones, leaving the package at the door of your home.
Why does Amazon want to use this method? Well, the patent offers clues. They point out that existing distribution centers "include increasingly large and complex facilities with extensive capabilities and high-tech equipment for the delivery of goods. Many centers have more than 300, 000 square meters. "
An aquatic center, on the other hand, could better utilize the vertical space. The patent states that current personnel must travel several miles in warehouses to collect items, but it is not at all clear what they would do with this underwater system.
It goes without saying that many companies make patents that never make light. It is therefore likely that Amazon will never deliver you a package that has crossed the water, but it never hurts to see what the main companies think.
