Skyscrapers that can supply electricity on their own

A 60 meter wind turbine is attached to the roof, and it is said that the solar panel as much as 15000 square meters in total can cover the building energy. The building will be built in Arab resort, Dubai.

Details are as below.

Extra generated electricity is used to electrolyze seawater to obtain hydrogen. What to do with this hydrogen seems to be used as a fuel cell to supplement the electricity of the night when the benefits of solar panels can not be obtained.


In order to prevent the inside of the building from becoming a burning hell, we try to avoid direct sunlight as much as possible. In the daytime, we use mirrors attached to the roof to incorporate natural light into the building.


Although it is currently in the design stage, there seems to be a building that can supply energy to 10 buildings as well as energy in the building. Here, around the elevator, each donut shaped floor spins 360 degrees and generates electricity by the attached turbine.
