The cost of real estate in dense areas typically won't make economic sense to begin with...
I agree

the "skyscrapers with rotors" are beautiful and curious but (absolutely) NOT comparable with my W.E.S. ...

...personally I would prefer one or two large graceful wind turbines than dozens of tiny ones...
unfortunately, "one or two large graceful wind turbines" gives small amounts of energy, so, one+ milli ...

So it's just a BIG windmill?
no, it's a GREATLY IMPROVED windmill !!!
to-day, the world needs HUGE amounts of energy and that needs may DOUBLE+ in the next 20 years due to the very fast economic gro ...

Then I guess the con of your design is simply the cost issue of both establishment and maintenance. And the improvement in efficiency of using array of motors rather than one (wind turbine) is still d ...

It make references to "The Green Skyscraper."

my "Wind Energy Skyscrapers" are NOT a new version of "green buildings" (with two-three rotors to save 10-15% of energy) but a kind of specialized "ene ...

Not sure about the efficiency of those massive fans, but apparently such structure wasn't come from considerate engineers.

I don't know if a "Wind Energy Skyscraper" like this could even be built someday (the concepts I've seen so far, just add two-three rotors to a skyscraper to save 10-15% of energy) however, it lo ...
