Noah's Ark of China, a six-ton (5,443 kg) ball
container built by Chinese inventor Yang Zongfu,
undergoes a rolling test in Yiwu,
Zhejiang province,
on August 6, 2012. According to local media, Yang
spent two years and 1.5 million RMB ($235,585 USD)
to build this four-meter diameter vessel, which is
capable of housing a three-person family with
sufficient food for them to live in for 10 months.
The vessel was designed to protect people inside
from external heat, water and external impact.
