The Snail Shell System is a one-person dwelling unit presented by N55 as a cheap way for someone to move around and live in different surroundings, both on land and on water.

Design

Each unit provides living space for a single occupant. It has no engine: the occupant moves it slowly by hand, either rolling it along like a wheel, walking inside it, or walking on top of it. The archive note describes it as mobile on land and on water alike, making it more of a floating, rolling shelter than a vehicle in the usual sense.

The archive holds only a short description copied from N55's online manual for the system, together with two pictures.
