I like your animation.

I used to work for a VP who wasted the day with worthless meetings, conversations and other garbage. He had a tendency to drag the full engineering staff down the drain with him. When we had a hot project it would be necessary to put in months of late nights in order to get something done (late). During the night the VP would often nod off while sitting at his desk. In his case he didn't just fall asleep but he did a lot of nodding.

One night another engineer and I set up one of the glass red birds and a glass of water on his desk. We would stand there watching him and the red bird both nodding and crack up when they were perfectly in sync. It was probably the funniest thing that happened during those dark ages of my career.

(Yes, the president had pointy hair. He drove a convertible and did not comb his hair afterward.)

Maybe the rigging of a three masted ship. ?? Wind assisted modern version with sails wound around the mast for easy and automatic deployment??

My guess is that it is the top of a relatively new, tall building, going by the lightening rods on the top of each. May be the top of the sky scraper that replaced the World trade center?

I hope they did not make the software!

Those are antennae, connected to a metal hat, much like a Viking helmet, for the purpose of developing new thoughts on how clouds are formed.

It escapes me why somebody would do this when the old reliable and much cheaper tin foil hat still does the trick!

The builder of the Yacht though might have thought of this one and wired the masts to this purpose!

Are you stating that a sail is NOT a single turbine blade then?

It's the 3 masts for a new sailing yacht built in Germany for a Russian Billionaire. IT's MASSIVE!

Do Russians know how to build sailing ships for German billionaire's ?
