Dubai Rotating Skyscraper 3D Presentation

Hello People,

So ever since I read a National Geographic story a couple years ago, I've been watching the surreal buildup of the ultra-rich oil nation, Dubai, with utter amazement. And to keep my jaw dropping to the floor, I ran across this otherworldly, no-holds-barred creation -- Enjoy:

The power generation feature of the building seems highly dubious ... not that it probably can't generate the power they estimate, but that the maintenance costs of the components will far outweigh any benefit.

Just going past the pilot wind farms outside LA you can quickly guesstimate the number that are out of commission at any given time ... anything that constantly spins floors around is going to be a lot more of a maintenance nightmare.
