  • Total nonsense. These guys have too much money with no purposeful things to do. Hey guys, how about feeding the devastated (from earthquakes,floods etc)poor, giving them clothing and building homes.

  • After watching this video, I am reminded of a quote from one of my favorite movies of all time: "Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." - Jurassic Park As with many 'firsts' (The Titanic) some will get very rich, while many will sadly perish. In a fire, people will trip over their Mercedes parked in their garage room?!? I'm a Mechanical Engineer and you could not pay me enough to live in that death trap! =(

  • @NeoQuello That's a pretty funny statement: I am currently learning to fly gliders and single-engine aircraft. But thanks for playing. Only time will show that I was correct, but I'm not the kind to say "I told you so". Besides, these huge expensive mega-projects are killing the economy of Dubai before they get to kill the occupants. Way to go Dubai...

  • @Longbow01 death trap??  im pretty sure your a very nervous flyer..

  • It is an interesting concept for those willing to spend that much for conformity, The energy created by the division between floors isn't enough to move the building itself, it requires a lot of power to execute such force of actually moving one section of the whole (per X weight), if it would be in constant rotation it would drain more energy than it can generate, you could move your apartment 1 time per month or pay extra energy from the grid; in the end it isn't a complete green design.

  • NONE of it rotatess

  • Has dizziness been taken into consideration. All the workers puking isnt a nice day at work or wherever.....Will the offices themselfs rotate or is there a rotating outher shell that rotates?

  • Where do you hang your laundry on that thing?

  • Now you all know why gas is so expensive:) somebody have to pay 4 it. :)

  • Do we ever really need a reason to do something? Lol. If people have an Idea they put it out there, thats all. We just gotta be open minded. Its a pretty neat concept in my opinion.

  • Lol, you're probably right. But it'd be the perfect place for thrill seekers.
