Bubble factory
The current times force us to take unusual solutions, which results in our innovative project.
The bubbles' being at a stationary spot is one thing, but they are mobile and have wheels? Feasibility and safety might be a problem.

The proposal is super original, but I still see a way to go to resolve issues of logistics and air conditioning.
