looking for ice fishing hut ideas?

looking for a light weight ice fishing hut plansi am open to all ideas.

Answer:

Here's my ultimate ice house idea, (No budget) My Problem?- Building a 5 X 8 house that weighs less than 150-200 LB's, (lite enough for 2 men to easily move on the ice without any hassle), that can be utilized as a lockable permanent ice houseFor flooring- 8-12 Thick-wall PVC as the runners bolted to 1/2 framed pressure-treated plywood, (about 75LBs) For Walls Roof- (My father gave me this idea; he was stationed in Alaska and built Quonset huts frequently)- Use hollow aluminum tubing and make a frameUse canvas as walls/roof and then a lite fiberglass resin to stiffen the walls and roofUse foam insulation on all walls another layer of canvas on the inside Viola! A lite-weight, easily moved ice shack for 2-3 And the hollow aluminum PVC could be filled with spray-foam to ensure an ability to float, ( just in case of the worst-case scenario of busting through the ice) This is not the cheapest routeThere are other designs that utilize tarps, wood, EtcHowever, the most important feature, (in my opinion), is the ability to easily relocate the house if your hot fishing spot goes south Hope this helps ya? Good luck!
Capacitance is kepsilonA/d, where A is the surface area, epsilon is 8.8510^-12, k is your relative dielectric constant (2.5 in your case), and d is the distance of separation between your conductors.
