Wind-powered rotating skyscraper to be built in Dubai

wind-powered rotating skyscraper

Architect, David Fisher, claims that the tower could power itself and ten other similar sized buildings.

This wind powered building is set to be built in Dubai within the next 6 months. There are so many things I don’t understand about this structure. Does it require the floors to rotate in order to produce power? That means that the floors are made to spin quite easily, right? So how fast will they turn? In case of hurricane? How will it make enough power for itself and others during windless days? This is a really exciting idea, nonetheless.

      I’m not sure whether to regard this as genius or stupidity. I’m a little skeptical of the “ten building s powered” claim also.

      I guess we will find out soon enough, right? If the claims are true, just think of the possibilities. :)
