Living in an urban powercell

Imagine a high-rise that produce its own power through converting wind to energy - not through wind turbines on the structure, but by being a wind turbine itself!

David Fisher wants to build a high-rise that makes each floor a wind turbine.
Watch this and see.



Fisher claims that the building will produce all its own energy, as well as enough for ten other tall towers. I don't know how he figured that out, or if anyone will actually build this beauty, but even the idea is revolutionary.

Imagine a bank of these towers on the windward side of a city, a slowly spinning forest of towers producing the energy that sustains urban life.

Worth a shot, anyway.

And hopefully the people who live/work in the towers won't be prone to motion sickness.
