In
today’s world where global warming is the biggest concern on everyone’s mind, the
only way forward is to sustain what we have and try and find alternate forms of
energy which would be less harmful to our environment. One form of alternate
energy which has become quite popular is solar energy. People have realized
that the sun is our biggest form of free energy and we shouldn’t miss out on
it. Hence there are lots of people opting for solar energy to power their homes,
cars etc.
The
proposal of building a wind powered rotating skyscraper is a big step forward
for the future of being energy self-reliant and less dependency on external
sources. This concept was proposed by Dr. David Fisher, an established Italian
architect.
It
is an amazing concept supposed to be built in the beautiful city of Dubai and involves a
central concrete core which would be surrounded by 59 different independent
rotating levels. What would set this building apart from every other is the
fact that it would generate its own electricity with the help of the gigantic
horizontal wind turbines which would be placed in between each floor.
Imagine
if this project becomes a reality with the building not needing any external
power source, it will push global warming way back. On the lighter side, you
can have a different view everyday from your house depending on your mood J
as it rotates.
