Rotating Building

You will retain more information if you search for and find it yourself, instead of asking us to do the work for you.

A quick search produced many results. Try it.

i searched for it and i didnt find any deep information ! all i found is that the building is constructed around a central core and each floor is composed of individual pie-like sections that are pre-built and hoisted up the central core ..and this is not enough!

Keep searching. Good luck.

Have you tried architectural publications?

thank u but i hope someone else will help me ..

Pardon me, but it sounds like you want someone else to do the work for you.

Bye.

nop but being in my first semester i need a little help to have A+ on my project..

if u dont wanna help me its ok .. but maybe someone else will have

There is a video among these links which gives lots of information on various aspects of the Dubai rotating building.

thank u .. i saw them all before

but i wanna surprise my teacher by going deeper in the constructions ...and i thought u guys would have more info ..so anw thanks again!

Visit the "Engineering News Report" (ENR) or "ASCE" websites, and you'll find what you require.

thank u :)

From some of the descriptions, "static utilities" such as elevators and plumbing are located in the stationary core. So they wouldn't be a big special problem. Electrical service to the rotating parts could be done via copper rings around the core, with moving brushes or rollers following around the rings. An analogy would be a slip-ring motor.

There are also such things as hydraulic commutators that can feed several lines to a rotating assembly, such as a crane. Conceivably the idea could also work for water supply and sewage, but it would be challenging to implement it.

OT, but sorta related: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGD7xX960PQ

Where does it turn ? May be under a heavy earth shudder but then the rotation will not be around a verical center line ! Oh yes, the guy turned during the jump. I see now the realtionship. Now for the original question. It can be (as it was said) as in an excavator where there are distribution rings as for electric current but considering the core diameter it could be quite difficult to maintain such seals tight. I consider as more probable (but I can be wrong since I do not detain the truth) that each part of the pie has a "service unit" which is connected automatically with the water supply and the sink when the "pie" is in the right position. Several such "connectors" can be placed on the periphery.

Whoever has control over the position of each floor should pay higher rent. The folks on the other side should pay less. Or would they have block meetings to vote on which way to turn the floor?

Does the building profile really intercept enough wind/solar to generate 40MW?
