This area is mainly composed by African and Turkish communities that won't afford moving in those. To built it several houses and shops have been expulsed, even though mostly slumb, the proposed solutions is just breaking the locals communities as inevitably the price of the land will rise around this landmark and will push locals to leave for more affordable areas. What about the social impact of the construction ? For those who are concerned about the vibrations, it is built over train tunnel. Fancy building for white fancy people to move in.

Not only will they get some milk but they will be able to collect the methane from their shit to burn for electricity. So SIMPLE!!!!! They should just put grass on the roof and then get a few cows.

Low frequency unpleasant sound, vibrations at all levels and frequencies throughout the building and concentrating in materials with sympathetic harmonics . People living near the hardware would have an industrial atmosphere with vibtating teacups. Why not use a different approach . The airfoil shape of the building provides a low pressure area only in certain wind directions. Why not circular, then a low pessure is created on two sides in all wind diections. Dont use a turbine use a perforated exterior wall with diaphrams connected to magnets and coils to produce electricty and vemtilation .No sound, no speed problems, no mechanical balancing and helicopter installations .

This would surely be the turbine tech of choice for these applications. Any device that has a fault in the “fail safeā€? department is going to be in trouble.

Hope many more such buildings will be built soon. Excellent idea. Hope many more such buildings will be built soon.

I felt this was a possibility a long time ago (my dream of being self sufficiant while sending my own extra wind electricity to the grid) when I started thinking about my own windmill and mini damn. Love the structure, I can't say it enough. How about adapting the idea you pattented (i'm sure) and make available via consult a turbine design for many tall buildings in cities around the world which can support such an attachment that gets helicoptered in. Why not, can't hurt...and during storms there is a lot of wind, so if the power goes out the turbine will be screaming in electricity. Ryan A.
