- gibsonf1 19y agoExactly - its between the floors. I think this is one of the most innovate overall building technology developments I've ever seen. They invented a way to create partial floor modules that are lifted to the very top of the building first and then filled in on the way down, a way to rotate the floors, a way to have horizontal tubines between the floors that create enough power for 10 towers - simply amazing.
- iamwil 19y agoYou know, interestingly enough, I just thought that if you have rotating floors, you're creating angular momentum, which makes it hard to tilt the floors. I wonder if that also has a stabilizing effect on the building in response to earthquakes.
