I don't understand--what is so "over green" about it? "Over green" might imply that it is "too green". Oh, I get it, the author of the article thinks he/she knows how to speak German. Ah, yes, that must be it. Wenn Sie gutes Deutsches sprechen möchten, erlernen Sie bitte wie in zur Schule!]]>May 18th 2007 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/18/designer-dreams-big-with-uber-green-twirling-tower/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/18/designer-dreams-big-with-uber-green-twirling-tower/May 18th 2007 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/18/designer-dreams-big-with-uber-green-twirling-tower/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/18/designer-dreams-big-with-uber-green-twirling-tower/May 18th 2007 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/18/designer-dreams-big-with-uber-green-twirling-tower/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/18/designer-dreams-big-with-uber-green-twirling-tower/May 18th 2007 12:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/18/designer-dreams-big-with-uber-green-twirling-tower/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/18/designer-dreams-big-with-uber-green-twirling-tower/May 18th 2007 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/18/designer-dreams-big-with-uber-green-twirling-tower/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/18/designer-dreams-big-with-uber-green-twirling-tower/

Ooh--and, if you put it near the lake, if there's any clear line-of-sight, *all* the units can claim to have a lake view. That'll double the rents right there. Just make sure there's a lobby store with Dramamine.]]>May 18th 2007 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/18/designer-dreams-big-with-uber-green-twirling-tower/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/18/designer-dreams-big-with-uber-green-twirling-tower/May 18th 2007 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/18/designer-dreams-big-with-uber-green-twirling-tower/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/18/designer-dreams-big-with-uber-green-twirling-tower/May 18th 2007 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/18/designer-dreams-big-with-uber-green-twirling-tower/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/18/designer-dreams-big-with-uber-green-twirling-tower/
What the designer is saying is that one(1) building converts enough wind energy to power the rotation of the floors for eleven(11) buildings. Therefore, one(1) building only requires one eleventh(1/11) of the wind energy converted by one(1) building in order to operate it's rotating floors.

Could I be any more clear?

How about this? Windmills spin, yet they also convert more wind energy to electricity than it takes to cause the spinning motion. This is the same concept on a much larger scale and, quite obviously according to the comments above, with a less obvious design.]]>May 18th 2007 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/18/designer-dreams-big-with-uber-green-twirling-tower/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/18/designer-dreams-big-with-uber-green-twirling-tower/May 18th 2007 9:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/18/designer-dreams-big-with-uber-green-twirling-tower/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/18/designer-dreams-big-with-uber-green-twirling-tower/May 19th 2007 1:44AM
