Basic English
Dubai & Moscow will be building the first ever Moving & Rotating Skyscrapers.
For the benifit of all viewers here, the buildings are NOT being moved by power, so to speak. Instead, the rotation is caused by the wind, which incidently also generates a significant amounts of electricity (much like a windmill)!
Beauty with Brains, eh?
what you're talking about...one...no..the floors will not move because wind is blowing them around...they WILL be powered by electricity and it will be choreographed (except for a few floors which the resident will be able to control)...it will NOT be wasting electricity, the wind will power the whole building so it'll be self sufficient..so no, the building is not wasting money or electricity..it's simply utilizing the electricity and money that the structure creates for itself
By dagyankeefan14 1216823755 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveFrom a real estate perspective the point is VALUE or at least perceived value, with a rotating building comes a rotating view, views are of course one of the highest valued premiums in real estate.
Even if it is possible to build a moving skyscraper (is it?). What's the point?

By banditox 1214615403 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removewhat if the power goes out will the building be stuck in that position. Also shouldn't we save our energy instead of wasting it on a moving building. Don't get me wrong it looks cool and all, would be a sight to see, but it just not make any sense to make a building move and it would be wasting electricity. Then if it is a big hit you will have more and more buildings being made which will take more electricty, and might cause brownouts quicker.

By dagyankeefan14 1216823871 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeread the comment from 'thebluestone' it creates its own power via the wind, wind generators installed between each appartment provide power for the structure. so no outside energy source is needed essentially, that is only if dubai has a wind free day.??
By turbine000 1214654096 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethe power will never go out....although us ppl down on the surface of the earth might feel some days without wind, there's always wind that never stops a thousand or two thousand feet up

Yeah that will probably work..
they'd be spinning that fast.
each floor will take 1 to 3 minutes to do a full rotation...the way it'll really move is going to be much slower than what you're seeing on the simulation videos
By dagyankeefan14 1216824163 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removewhat if one of em dropped?
By sloppyflow 1214584423 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveDubai in my opinion is the leader in new and innovative structures, do you not think that with all the billions they spend on building these mega structures that they would not have the best engineers and architects available to them, their saftey standards are through the roof man!!
By turbine000 1214654450 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethis is dubai, mother of the world.thank all.
By j.m.e 1214550722 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeisnt it spinning a little too fast? -dizzy-
By dagurlls 1214630424 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe building's floors all move independently of each other, each turning a slow turbine. This allows the building to supply all of its own energy. And, yes, I want to shoot an Arab each time I fill my pickup...but somehow I must understand that this is the wave of the future. "The amount of money is constant...it simply changes pockets." If they are doing just a bit of human progress with my hard-earned monies, well, perhaps I can agree just a bit.
WTF is that ignorant comment supposed to mean?
By GodSushi 1214583903 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWell i guess the high gas prices aren't just for the hell of it!!!! Let's GOUGE the people so we can waste thier hard earned money on this pointless building. Greedy ass arabs!!!!!!
